Religion says we're rebelling against God; Science finds differently.

[Haydn2]

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).

This couldn't be used as a way to prolong life , as the brain deteriorates like any other organ.

I personally think the clone really would be you as all of your personality and memorys come from the brain and although the glands of the body do effect how we feel and thus our behaviour , they can only be experienced through and be over-ridden by , the cognitive core of ourselves , the brain.

What would be interesting , if whether you could mix and match different parts of the brain , from different people and implant that into brainless clone. Say the left side of one person , matched with the right of another . Pure science fiction of coarse , but imagine the left side of Albert Einstein , with the right side of Kurt Cobain . Or what about half Hitler , half Stalin and let WW2 continue in a white , padded cell with a mad man in strait jacket hollering and shreiking away in insanity .
