Interesting notion. I recently read a science
fiction story set in the distant future where people could be replicated at
will. In the story, it was not uncommon to meet one's clone. The
clones were treated as separate individuals- perhaps analogous to how
identical twins are treated in our society. This seemed reasonable to
me. In this context I think I would NOT be especially disturbed to
meet my clone.
