I support cloning 100%. There is a huge upside to cloning humans. We can "back up" or "save" ourselves, just like we do with work on a computer. What if you could go home every night and in a few minutes clone yourself, keeping the clone asleep until you make the next clone. If you tragically die that day, your loved ones can revive the clone and you\'ll be right back in action having only lost a few hours of experience. "You" would still be dead, but everyone else in the world could continue the joys of living with you. Think of it as highly advanced life insurance. It\'s just like saving a document...once you save, if your application suddenly crashes or something, you can just go back and continue from the latest save.
Cloning is also good because if we have an entirely cloned population, then we can quarantine and eventually eliminate all STD\'s since sexual intercourse will be unnecessary. Also, if everyone is cloned then the human species can slowly adapt to not need sexual intercourse, which would save us a lot of other problems. In fact, after about a 1-2 million years of a completely cloned population, we would probably adapt and become completely incapable of sex.
Finally, cloning can be immesnly beneficial if we can program our clones to be subservient to the alpha specimen. Everyone could have 2 or 3 clones that they can dispatch as needed to "be" them when they need to be more than one place at once. The subservient clones then report their experiences back to the master, and go back into a state of inactivity until they are tapped again. You could dispatch one clone to watch the game with your buddy, another to run errands, and another to stay home do work and answer the phone, all while you go to The Breakfast. Then the clones report back to you so you have all the experiences, and go to rest until you need them again. You could keep everyone happy because you could always be there for everyone. It would be even better for people who are actually important, like The President. He could be in Washington, China, Britain, and Iraq at the same time. You could even have the President on the front lines, rallying the troops every day. They would be fired up because it is the President, but if he gets killed it wouldn\'t matter because 1. the alpha President is in Texas and 2. there are enitre vaults full of backup Presidents in secret underground locations throughout the country.
I would love to have 3 clones.
