if you have the money to have yourself cloned to 'cheat death'... would you do it? why?

Hmmmm...good question. No, I would not clone myself to cheat death. It would be essentially killing myself to save myself. That's what bothered me about that movie, it just didn't sit well with me. Those clones were real people who lived in a lie created for the selfish purposes of others and by corporate greed.
Now on the other hand, some days I would love to have a clone but only to help get done the things I needed to do during the day. Actually, maybe I just need an assistant, lol.

I've seen the movie, and think that it is absolutely abhorable to do something like that.
I happen to be against cloning in every sense. There is a part in the movie where the mercenary and the doctor are having a discussion in which the doctor asks the mercenary... "How many people can say not only can they save lives they can create them" and the mercenary responds... "I guess only two... You and GOD."
Now let me make this perfectly clear... I'm not pro-life - actually I'm pro-choice, and I happen to choose life. But to create a being to specifically kill it to harvest organs, and then dispose of the rest is actually nauseating. Even if the 'products' are in a state of suspended animation, and have no clue as to their surroundings, think to yourself... would you do this to an infant? In essence that would be exactly what you are doing. Look at the way the 'product' was acting once they were awakened. Even though they were fully grown, they were acting like infants. Jerking reactions, sucking their thumbs, self soothing...
Absolutely... I would choose to die when it was my time. I have my chance to live my life.

Yes, I think I would - but only when I was old and ready to die. I'd want to find a way to transfer my memories & knowledge (my essence?) into this new clone so I could live forever - I wouldn't want to have me the original and a clone running around at the same time like in the movie.

I loved the movie so much...but a clone of me walking around...way creepy yet interesting...i think it would be a good way of the "soul" of me living on cause i want to have touched lives when i die,,,and then my clone could live on for me doing what i did....but to kill my clone to live longer...no thanks...thats cruel...giving something life and then stealing it away again...NO

For me, that depends on how realistic the depiction of the process was in the movie. It is far more likely that parts would be cloned, not whole bodies. THAT I can live with. But killing off my duplicate so I can have his liver? Nope.

I really liked that movie! But...I don't think I would do it. The clones were real people too and as such, have the right to live!

cloning is no big deal, I am a clone, an Identical twin, it happens all the time.
