Maybe the most humane way would be for neither to know which is actually the clone?

...of course, attack of the body snatchers and all. That's probably not actually a good idea.

Of course, it'd be easy to fake death for insurance that way, cut clones break cables, steal relitives bank account, and you are set.. note to self, buy insurance policy first.

Yeh, but if you were using clones to do that, chances are it would be (somewhat) mainstream technology, and the insurance people would have a measure against clone fraud.

Which brings up the issue of what to do when one (or several) clones of the same person commit a crime. Who gets jailed? How do you even know who did it?

If Science Fiction has taught us anything, you should immediately accuse the one who protests loudest.

But if we're going with the insta-clones so common in SF - the ones that come full grown with all the same memories, doesn't that make them all, to some extent, the same person, and so they're all guilty of perpetrating the crime?

And would saying that your creator, who is in essence you, forced you to do it an adequate defence? For that matter, could such clones even be capable of refusing orders from each other?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

You can't marry the Mona Lisa, Aqizzar.  The Nude Gioconda might be willing to have a fling though.
