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

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.

That statement is half true. Yes, the brain does deteriorate and neurological conditions like alzheimers would still eventually kill you, no matter how much body swapping you did. However, if your body broke down before your brain, if you had a huge, inoperable, malignant tumor or you were in a huge accident or something, yeah, it would still extend your life.

I suppose that line of thought can be expanded on by creating a clone with an incomplete brain and just replacing the part that are breaking down. Or we clone ourselves with the brain in tact so we don't have to transplant, for example, the portions of the brain that control heartbeat or body temperature or breathing or digestion or hormone levels or something. Truth is, there are a lot of parts of our brain that don't really effect our mind.

Wow; this is kinda turning into a discussion for philosophy, isn't it?
