| Cloning the perfect mate from your genes?
Posted: 5/29/2007 8:33:26 PM | | The question assumes that our soul mate is destined to be like us in every way but that is not necessarily true. It occurs quite often if not most of the time, that opposites attract and that a timid person could be attracted to an confident person because they display behavior the timid person admires. Not to mention if you ask me screwing your own clone of the opposite gender is just really awkward masturbation.LOL. Ultimatly the quest to clone ones self for companionship or the pursuit of immortality is simply an exercise in narcism. | |

specially designed for sex to obey my wishes...that would be so great!!! | |

Posted: 12/27/2007 4:24:34 AM | | Personally I would have problems with a mate who was just like me. I think having too much in common causes more conflict than having our differences. It's much better to be able to learn from each other than it is to know exactly what the other thinks and how they will act or react to things. It's what keeps relationships alive and interesting. If you were the same as your partner you would soon get bored and the relationship would end up in stale mate and end. | |

Wouldn't it be great to clone a significant other of either the same sex or opposite sex for yourself? You would have the same interests. You would be similar in appearance. You would think the same. Wouldn't such a way of getting a mate be a perfect solution to the conflicts that exist now in finding the right person to be with? Just wondering what others thought of this.
You wouldn't learn anything from the experience. Part of seeking a mate is the journey itself. If someone exactly like you could be produced as a mate, there would less exposure to new ideas. The idea of compromising in order to make intimate relationships work would become foreign. Further, genetic recombination or crossing over, a process that takes place during prophase I of meiosis is designed to produce a combination of traits in offspring that neither of the parent offspring alone had. Further, it can be argued that conflict often results in situations that are more stable than the beginning situation. We should never seek to create conflict, but it does often lead to growth. So designing a mate using yourself as a template is a very bad idea. | |

Would give new meaning to being told to “go f--k yourself” 
I’m thinking the OP may have been thinking more along lines of the kind of cloning tech they had in the movie The Sixth Day.
Full grown right from the start, with a full memory copy. Only with the sex changed. Still creepy if your thinking of it for mating. Though I remember thinking when I saw that film wouldn’t it be cool if you had that kind of tech to copy yourself. You could have an instant twin brother.
(only child) 
I kind of wonder if they would be my instant best friend or if I would end up not being able to stand myself, really I’m just not sure how it would work out.
(Actually come to think of it there was a comedy movie about that called Multiplicity!)
Oh and I 2nd the robot idea. I’d definitely go for the Monrobot before my own clone even if Futurama says it will lead to the downfall of humanity. lol.
The japs are so going to get us all killed by robots… Be ready for when your toaster/sexbot turns on you! | |

When it comes down to a perfect match, isn´t it one of the attractions to find out interesting things things about him or her? And what about all the nice talks you won´t have because you allready know they think the same? It would most certainly put an end to all conversations. A perfect match isn´t perfect unless they´re unique. And what makes people unique? There´s only ONE of each  | |
