If you cloned yourself, what rights would you expect your other self to have?

Asked by stevenb (3836points) January 2nd, 2009

I was wondering if cloning comes to be a reality that people embrace, what rights and so forth would clones have? Would there be a clone rights movement? Would you have to give half of all of your posessions to your clone? Would all of your property become half theirs? Would there be clone pride parades? Clone Day? Would they get unemployment, medicare, medicaid, retirement? Would you be responsible if they killed somebody, robbed a bank, or blew up a bridge? If they won the lottery would you get the money or would they? If they got somebody pregnant, would you be held responsible as a parent? Could you force then to work while you go live on an island paradise somewhere? Isn’t that slavery? I was just curious. As always, Thanks for your answers.
