In the hectic modern world, we sometimes wish we could be in two places at once. This theme is explored in the movie Multiplicity, which focuses on a man who seeks to give himself some extra time by having himself cloned; not surprisingly, he runs into some difficulties. Suppose that scientists created a clone (genetic duplicate) of you. Would you expect them to be identical to you when grown? What does your response tell you about your own view of the nature/nurture issue? Given that even identical twins show some differences in both behavioural and physical characteristics, how would you feel about another individual who was identical to you in every respect?
