If your DNA is not your own, then anyone cloned from you is a separate
and distinct person, legally. Another recent news item mentioned twinned
embryos, implanted and birthed six years apart - thus, you could quite
possibly encounter a clone you never knew, have no ownership over, etc.
So: if one has sex with one's clone [of possible distinct appearance and
age], is one committing: masturbation; incest; buggery; narcissism? If
you and your clone have the same fingerprints, retinal patterns, DNA for
forensic purposes, and one of you commits a crime, can you both be found
guilty? If you buy something, does your clone own it too - if not, how
can differences between you be distinguished, how can actual ownership
be discerned? If your clone locks you up, are you your keeper's brother?
More germane in this forum, what benefit does any conspiracy gain by
promulgating clones, by owning DNA, by controlling destinies? Who stands
to gain? Who finances current legal/social/cultural movements re: genetic
modification, DNA/genome sequencing, mammalian cloning? Follow the money.
