You could get yourself cloned and use the clone if you ever needed any organ transplants, limbs, etc. You’d technically be allowing yourself to be ‘recycled’ and would probably live for much longer than the average life span. Since highschool, I’ve been obsessed with cloning and the whole idea of it - I remember the sheep that got cloned (Dolly) and ever since, I’ve been intrigued. But then creationists would come along. “CLONES DON’T HAVE SOULS”.
I think the ethical issue is that cloning creates a sentient being. Yes, creationists are typically a pain in the ass, but the more important argument against using a clone of yourself to enhance your lifespan regards the ethics of creating a sentient being and then killing/maiming that being for your own well-being.
There’s a book about this. https://g.co/kgs/q2aHle
How does everyone know about this book and I’ve never heard of it???
I know it was required reading at some schools (not mine, I stole it from my best friend’s backpack because I was bored and he was busy and blew through it in a couple hours) so maybe that? Honestly I’m not sure why it got so popular–or rather so well-known. It was an interesting book, but not really my thing.
