Clones 'would Feel Individuality'

[Janus]

A cloned human would probably consider themselves to be an individual, a study suggests.

Why is anyone wasting valuable research time on a study with such an obvious answer?

[Janus]

That's what science is about, you have to provide evidence even for answers that may seem obvious.

**wonders who embezelled the grant money awarded to that study**

What a complete and utter waste of time and money. The idea that a clone would be psychologically an exact copy of the donor is scientifically laughable. Even twins raised in the same home have different personalities.

Are we going to have studies on whether extrasolar planets have gravity or not? :rolleyes:

Whoever gave them the grant should be fired for incompetence.

[Janus]

One may find it idiotic but this also doubles up as evidence for the nature vs. nurture debate.

[Sadena Meti]

It'd odd that clones would have unique personalities, when the people at meetings of "Young College Republicans" don't.

[Whitten]

There's been proof of this dating back to the earliest humans (or earlier, but no one was around to care then). Identical twins become seperate individuals and they grow up with almost identical enviromental influences, so a close would logicly be even more different that his "original" as a result of different enviromenal factors. Do I get paid a high salary for wasting perfectly good grant money? no
