Several times I have been approached by a lot of strangers telling me that I look familiar, never going to a place or gathering without finding someone asking me that same question, for my case, I would have to say that I have a lot of look-alikes walking on this earth, my friends will sometimes send me some pictures saying that the person looks exactly like me. Whenever they do that, I don’t see the resemblance.
Ever since I was a young child, I have dreamt and wished I had an identical twin. I so much loved the idea of a perfect look-alike that every time I see one, I fall deep in admiration for such a wonder. It will be a marvel and a dream come true for me, if it were to be possible to have a clone of myself, having someone who will look exactly like me, think like me and behave the same as I would.
I would welcome it with all happiness, making it possible for me not to have to show up for work every day by myself, assigning the clone to represent me in every area I deem fit. My clone will have to do the work, while I just keep myself healthy, which will work to provide money for our survival. I feel sometimes that the world needs a second of me or even more of me; having plenty of me in this world will make the world more hospitable. There was this movie I watched some time ago; I have tried so hard to remember the movie title, but to no avail. In this movie, a person could have made a clone of himself. So, the two main characters of this movie had themselves made a clone. The male will always send his clone out to work and also to dates; he was only interested in the happy hour but not interested in getting to know his date with a pure intention, while the female character sends her clone out on dates to con her prey.
With the dangers and the misuse of the technologies, it was banned for anyone to have a clone, and any clone fund will be destroyed. Which brings me to my conclusion, every new technology and development comes with its risk, some riskier than others. To clone a person may seem nice, tempting and welcoming, it will be very difficult for me to succumb to creating a clone of myself in the end.
