An ethical question.

In light of recent news about human cloning, we have to ask ourselves
the
following hypothetical question: If you pushed your naked clone off the
top
of a tall building, would it be

A ) murder?
B ) suicide?
C ) merely making an obscene clone fall?

1. Yes, it would.

n/t

2. How could they prove the clone died, and not the original?

:shrug:

3. C) depending on what he/she was doing at the time.

ROFL!

5. If you make a lot of obscene clone falls

you'll turn into a crank yanker!

6. crank yanker

I don't think I have ever heard that phrase before. Does it mean what I think it means?

8. It's a TV show

about muppet-like creatures that make prank phone calls.

Obscene clone falls - obscene phone calls - am I the only one who saw that?

[plcdude]

9. no

I got the punchline just have not heard of the that TV show

7. A

Even if the Clone is a duplicate, it's human. Being genetically identical does not mean that the clone isn't alive and experiencing a distinct life from my own, even if some aspects of that life are the same as mine.
Not suicide because the experience that I call my life continues.

10. Exactly.....

anyone with an identical twin sib has a clone.....

11. That was a long way to go...

for that joke. I gotta hand it to ya on that one. You worked hard for THAT punch line.

I didn't laugh (almost), but I did admire that you tried hard.

13. Why would I want to do that? There are better things I could do...

I can think of better things to do; such as getting a second income... The risk of being homeless would be reduced 50%!

And, heck, this would eliminate the need for social companionship! It gives a new meaning to "talking to one's self"!

And I'm not even going to mention sex, you filthy little pervert! :spank: :D

14. ...and if he fell on the teacher from Ferris Bueller and killed HIM...

...you'd be making an obscene clone fall across late Stein.

:D

15. Ow.
