What would you do if you somehow created a clone army of yourself? Keep in mind that each clone has the same mind and memories you do.

What would you do? What mischief would your army get into? What would you command them to do?

So identical twins have the same mind and memories as each other?

I'd come to my senses, realise the awfully immoral thing that I'd done, and ring GOPman, the superhero who respects the sanctity of human life. He'd destroy the vile perversions of God's plan that I'd created, eliminate science in its entirety so it could never happen again, then return home to his unattractive wife for another session of joyless sex, geared solely towards the production of thousands of Christian super-children, the next generation of soldiers to spread freedom and democracy across the globe.

No, in this hypothetical situation all your clones have the same memories and personality. Which would make doing stuff with them easier. If the clones had the minds of children or newborns then whats the point?

It depends on whether you and a few other clones decide to start brainwashing the other ones or not. :tongue:

Ah, so when you use the word 'clone' you don't actually mean 'clone'.

How remiss of me to have made such a silly assumption.

Well if we had hive minds, then that'd make my clone army more awesome, and more powerful.

and of course.

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

Had to be done.

I'd use the technology to make thousands of clones of Elvis Presley, and make them sing "Are You Clonesome Tonight?". After I was done with the lulz, me and my clones would introduce the new sport of Elvis hunting with hounds.

First of all, all the clones would immediately get plastic surgery so they didn't look like me. We would apply to pretty much every college in the US that we liked. All would major in physics.

Upon graduating, we would immigrate to Israel and join the IDF - specifically, the Amad intelligence service. After military service, we would use our combined physics knowledge to create laser rifles.

I now have an army of former IDF spooks with physics degrees and laser rifles.

Our exact scheme would be determined by consensus. It would probably involve invading some dictatorship, thereby eliminating an evil regime, winning the support of its people, and gaining control of an entire country in one fell swoop. But that would only be the first step in my Xanatos Roulette...

There are many different meanings to the word "clone," including the science fiction idea of an exact duplicate (down to memory and personality). Get over yourself.

Me and my clones would probably hang out. Buy some vodka, play some board games. Then I guess we'd go to sleep, or maybe go see a movie. Eventually we'd all go our separate ways, but not before one of us successfully graduated college.
I'm not the most motivated or organized person in the world, so my clones wouldn't be very motivated either.

Anyone who actually bothers to clone me is making a cry for serious help. Or they just want the whole project to tank so they can bail out on a golden parachute.

How many clones am I allowed for my very own Army Of Me? If there are no limitations, I would go for the maximum amount. Work those cloning vats until they collapse! And after all is done, I can truthfully say that I AM LEGION. That's biblical, by the way.

In that case, all but one will perish, as the others are deemed a threat.

None with my mind would consent to obey orders, so there would be no "commanding" them. And, all would want to be the leader (an intention which would, of course, be resisted by all the others).

The war would be total and inevitable. There must only be one.

I would strive for some individuality, because there is no point in an army of clones unless your are clearly the leader. Then once the beard is in place we can take over the world.

That's assuming there are enough clones of myself. If not, we'll make more.

This was attempted by ClonAid in 2005, with disastrous results.

In turns out that the nitrogenous formations in LG's DNA are not composed of the typical guacine, adenine, cytosine, et al. His are made of merangue, strawberry, pecan, and german chocolate, respectively.

This makes even state of the art cloning techniques useless.

Also, if we clone him, instead of one guy doinking my wife, there will N people doinking my wife, where N is an element of the integer set.

Well, you're from R'lyeh, which means you only think in imaginary numbers then multiplied by irrationals and then divided by zero.

Besides, which half?
