I don't know why it makes me uncomfortable. I'm sure it's irrational. Anyone else feel the same way?

Why would it bother anyone... they look like the animals they were cloned from. Unless looking at animals in general bothers you.

Yeah I wouldn't even be able to tell they're clones unless someone told me, so no, there's no reason to be creeped out.

Maybe he's creeped out because they're so ordinary-looking. Like, your neighbor could be walking his dog by your house, except the dog is a clone, and you'd never know.

(I'm just guessing here. I don't find them creepy.)

So it's not really seeing the pics that creeps you out, it's the thought of cloning that does it?

Seeing the pics makes it seem more real. Like how seeing pictures of murder victims is more disturbing than just hearing about it.

Was there some significance to them having personalities? Your personality (if you want to even call what animals express as a personality) comes from your brain and your brain is formed by your DNA.

So if you met a human clone you wouldn't find the person creepy at all?

No... and this is kind of the whole point... you wouldn't know unless they had a sign on them "I am a clone."

I know, I'm saying if already you knew the person was a clone.

I said in the first post that it's an irrational feeling, so using logic isn't going to get me to change my mind.

What about the "unnatural-ness" do you find creepy. Do you find people who have been conceived through in vitro fertilization creepy? That's "not natural".

Not really, I guess it's just direct copies that I find strange.

See, a clone wouldn't even be a twin; they'd grow up at the same rate and just be a younger version. Now, if you had 99 clones each made one year apart facing me down, that might be a little upsetting.



Sorry, I meant awesome.

Cloned and synthetic meat is probably the future. It's more humane, cheaper (eventually) and more environmentally friendly. Also, I'm pretty sure that stuff like that leads to Dead Rising happening, so that's good.

*****FFVII SPOILERS, I GUESS*****





"Clone" in FFVII's sense doesn't mean "direct copy."

It means "Someone who was injected with Jenova cells in an attempt to replicate Sephiroth's abilities."

That definition applies to Cloud, so...

Of course it's not, which is why people get really confused when people say "Cloud is a clone."

But that's the way FFVII uses it, so there ya go.

They do look a little off, especially the dog and cat. The cat is literally 'derp'

Buy yeah, it's knowing that they're clones that's freaky, not the actual pictures. Freaks me out a little too.

GameFAQs mods. Ping original "spoiler without warning" post, allow discussion to continue below. Hell I didn't say Solid/Liquid Snake, Cloud, Ganondorf, and Ukyo were clones, I merely asked if they creeped people out.
