If cloning was perfected and you were approached to be a sample for the cloning would you allow yourself to be cloned? The study would be on Nature vs. Nurture. They would take enough samples of your DNA to allot of the amount of test subjects they needed and you would be adequately compensated. If the study was not something you were interested in allowing them to subject your clones to, is there any studies you would allow your clones to be subjected to?

As long as the group was legit, ethical and regulated, probably.

Would certainly give me a great alibi for any crime.

Although I'm not sure what they would think "adequately compensated" entails

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Yea, I'm not sure how much that would be worth really, that's why I left the payment amount kind of open ended.

basically the market value+ residuals/"royalties" for any future work using my DNA. Since I am alive and can probably claim rights to the portion of the DNA they are cloning. This is obviously tricky because like people share a lot of DNA in common so not sure how this would work. I say "market value" but If they approached me I can assume they've vetted a ton of people and came to me for whatever reason. I mean let's say that they came across my DNA and it happens that it's like just the right type to be cloned and other's DNA, even if it's a tiny bit off, fail for some reason. So if I'm an early subject I'd probably have a lawyer start to negotiate this as pricing would be unprecedented. If I was in a future wave of subjects I would probably still just have a lawyer do this, but my acceptance would depend more on what the value was put at.

I'd also probably require them to give me legal representation for an extended period of time, and extend it to cases where the company changes hands or is absorbed into another company type deal. This is mainly because having a clone could probably cause some issues.

Another thing that makes it weird to come up with a price is that literally everyone has DNA, and we have a lot of it

Unless there is something special about YOU they need, there are a bunch of people that would be willing to do it for $100 and a cookie

Having someone clone you is pretty much the same as being a sperm donor and those people don't make a lot

O yeah, I'm assuming this is the type of cloning where they're making a baby version of you, as opposed to an exact copy with your memories intact

if it's the latter that's more messed up and I don't understand how the experiment would actually work

honestly I'd pay them if they kept me posted on all the research results

it'd be pretty neat to see how alt-me fares in different environments

Absolutely, so long as my clone won't be subject to any inhumane procedures during the studies. Otherwise I see no reason not to, honestly, even if I'm not compensated. It's a worthwhile study.

These are basically how I feel about to be honest.
