would you let your clone sleep with your girlfriend/wife?

[keja]

You obviously have little respect of your image then.

[Shai'tan]

Clones are different persons who look like yourself...

[Blargen]

Indeed.. Which is why I have no shame in killing him. Hes just a stranger who HAPPENS to look like me. And Id defenitly kill him if he slept with my wife/girlfriend.

Technically your clone would still sort of be your girlfriend's boyfriend who would try to sleep with her, buuut If somehow I was cloned I would completely hate my clone (I don't hate my self but I can be annoying) and his sleeping with her wouldn't exactly be cheating, but I would be infuriated and be rid of the abomination, in one way or another. I think. I know I'd be pissed as hell at the clone. I suppose, being that he is me, that my girlfriend could be convinced that he was the real one, but he'd know! HE WOULD KNOW WHAT HE DID! Sooooo, I'd ship him to... idk... how about Russia? I have wanted to see Russia... I could try to kill him but It'd be weird to kill my self, and technically he'd be a human... and knowing myself as well as I do, it might not be that easy... and he may try to kill me, unless we made a deal... and I could pay for him to have his name changed to Kevin something, I used to want to do that. But on topic, no I would not.

I would have though he would have a different name to you anyway.

Well think about this. Why the hell would the clone want to sleep with my girl anyway?

I have a question to help clarify your poorly executed question.

Who's clone is the clone?

If it's your clone it would be because YOUR CLONE IS JUST ANOTHER YOU! Assuming this clone was made a perfect duplicate of you, with your memories, it would think that your girlfriend is his (which technically she/it/he would be, because he'd have all memories of falling in love with and such as you) that's why. Now, if this clone was grown, like most clones, it would only possibly be like you, you are formed from your experiences, and your memories are actually lingering electric pulses in the brain, like ram on a computer, since it's 'ram' will have had no previous input, it would have no memories of you and as it 'grew' would be potentially very different from you. But clone is usually seen as a carbon copy so this is how I've been handling the situation. End Wall-o-text.

[keja]

wall-o-text should be trademarked.

[CX gamer]

A clone doesn't share memories, it just has the same DNA, like a one-egged twin...

It's like letting your twin sleep with your wife... It's a totally other person...

And lunar, that was barely a fence...

[keja]

Fictional representations of clones in science fiction can have the same memories as you, and this isn't a discussion about realism, as none of us actually have clones.

[Shai'tan]

Well, at least to you it's another person, but to everyone else they might think it's you...

[Tom]

i dont see why not

[keja]

Are you answering your own question?

[Shai'tan]

Doesn't he have the rights to?

[keja]

It's an odd thing to do.

[Shai'tan]

Why?

[keja]

Well, if you were being interviewed by a possible employer, and he told you what his best qualities and his drawbacks were, you'd be a bit confused.

[Shai'tan]

But this is a forum...

[lunar_furor]

Look at the discussion thread, we all answer our own questions, It's less answering a question and more giving an opinion after the question rather than before. This isn't an interview, it's a discussion.

Cx I agree, it is a fence, but to many people who probably will never read all of that (at least half of the people on this forum) it's a wall. Now my stories that no one reads till I ask them to, those are more like walls.

[keja]

stop splitting hairs.
