Super creepy concept!

But hang on hear me out...

Let's say we can make a 100% perfect clone copy of you. Same body, same mind, same feeling and memory. The copy is actually so much like you that in 1 week time it will completely forget it's a copy and start living your life as if it's their own.

Now for the bummer...

You're terminally ill, and your family doesn't know it yet.

Would you implant that copy of yourself into their life and never tell them?

P.S. This was on a podcast I listened to, apparently the movie Swan Song

That’s kinda my thought - it seems fraudulent, as it’s not really you.

You won’t have to implant it. It will naturally implant itself.

Yeah, I would. My family has been through a lot with illnesses and just crap luck over the past year or so that I wouldn't want to add to that. If I had a clone that was the exact copy of me, then that clone has my blessing to take my place

I think I would if the clone was going to out live me then my family and friends would get to spend more time with me as the clone is an exact replica with my mind and memories so would continue to be me and my family would be saved the pain and heart ache of seeing me terminally ill

Super unsettling concept, I can see why they would make a movie out of it.

I personally wouldn't do that but then again I don't have anyone relying on me. Although not sure how I would feel about a clone potentially raising my kids, fuck this just gets creepier!

P.S. I don't actually know if that's what the movie is about.

No, because life is not like thar.

Life and all it's existential experiences are what shapes us as well as shake us to the core at times. Transitions makes us grow. We need these transitions to move us forward as a species

I think it's more a focus on the fact that the family is already struggling as it is, and possibly they see it as a saving grace.

This is very true, give me that clone please. Also if the clone goes to the gym, do we get the gains?

The reality never alignes with the reality though. Where does a lone get drawn

So if the clone is exactly the same as you and has all your memories, mannerisms and traits etc… then effectively it’s a second you, the same person. you just have to die and it (you) will carry on like your death hasn’t happened

It’s the same as copying data from one memory stick to an identical one, then binning one of them.

I'd use Mr Clone for spare parts and transplant all the good working organs to me.

No I don't think so. I don't particularly want to die alone, which I would have to do. Death is part of life. I've lost loved ones. We don't need to fool people into thinking they haven't lost somebody. Everybody I know will get on OK without me even if they are sad I've gone. Luke

Watch altered carbon on Netflix, it’s loosely the same concept

"Watch altered carbon on Netflix, it’s loosely the same concept "

Not quite the same as with Carbon their original mind was transferred to another body.

In this movie the clone has it's own mind it just functions exactly the same as original

When it's needed my wife can do the same and we'll just keep going. Sounds great

Might keep a couple of spare ones in the cupboard. Easier than organising meets on here

Yeah I guess it seems ok. I mean it’s (the clone) isn’t doing anything wrong, it’s just being you. Which is essentially what it is. To stop the clone would be like if somebody for no reason you can understand stopped you living your life

This was also part of the theme of the sci-fi film Oblivion. If no-one else but you knew, then why wouldn't you?

it very well could have done, many of us could be on our 3rd or 4th clone but would never even be aware of it.

Or we could already be dead and don't know about it. All of this could just be our afterlife
