Would you want a Clone of Yourself?

The idea of having a clone sounds creepy to me. Seriously every time I think about someone who looks exactly like me, walking around doing their own thing, it gives me chills. Maybe it’s because I’ve met identical twins before and I always wonder how they feel about it. knowing there’s someone that’s isn’t you, but looks and maybe even sounds exactly like you. I like twins, don’t get me wrong but I’m also really curious about what it feels like.

People tell me all the time I look like someone they know. At first I used to love it. I even believed people were made in twos. Lately though, I’ve stopped buying it. Now it’s more like “Wow, you look just like my friend” or someone sends me a random picture from the internet of a stranger and say, “You two could be sisters.” Most of the time, I don’t see it at all. Maybe other people see same angles and immediately make connections. Or maybe, I just have one if those common faces, I have no idea.

I’m tired of hearing so much of it. It’s like being to a lot of people. Sometimes, I wonder of people are actually looking closely or just matching a few similar features and drawing conclusions. Do we really look lije other people or do people just point out resemblance because it makes an easy comment to start a conversation.

Just imagining, If I had a clone, It’ll be nice because I’ll have someone I can trust because they’ll literally be me. A good listening ear without judgement and someone to spend time with. I would definitely make her work in my place while I take my time to do other things. I’ll make her do the laundry. I absolutely hate laundry, let the clone handle it.

But despite the conveniences, I would turn down the offer. Like I stated at the beginning of this blog, I find the idea of clones creepy. Clones aren’t just another person that looks like you, they’re made in a lab and that raises a lit of questions that I don’t think anyone is ready to answer. What if they malfunction at some point? What if they get out of control? I’d rather not put myself through that mental stress.

Asides the creepiness, I don’t think there’s anything a clone would do for me that I wouldn’t be able to do myself except maybe do the laundry faster. I can’t use it to commit a crime even if I wanted to, because it has my face.

Honestly, I’m more interested in surviving and living well than in satisfying curiosity about what having a clone would be like. The cons are more realistic than the pros, so no clones for me. If someone offers me a clone, I’ll politely decline and then ask them to help fold my laundry.
