That would actually be one of the possible means of immortality...or at least a greatly prolonged life. Can you imagine? Infinitely repeating youth? And hey, when you get bored of it you can just let yourself die!
Scientists! Get on this! I've only got about 60 years left, after all!
That would be a doozy for philosophers to delve over. Would the clone really be 'me?' Our thoughts are effected by more than just our brain; the hormones that come from the various glands about our body all have a significant impact on how we think and feel (Violet and I have had a good amount of experience with that).
There would be a few other concerns, though. If we got a 'redo' on our life, over and over again, how long would it be before we simply couldn't relate with the rest of the people in our lives? If this were widespread enough to be common, there would be worries about over population getting worse than it already is.
