are you watching the new netflix series "carbon"? they discuss this issue. it sounds fascinating what the implications of it are.

I will try and watch. But we are within a generation of cloned people. The Chinese will do it. At that point imprinting the knowledge and memories of the original person will be imprinted truly allowing us to live forever. Not to mention continuing to learn in our prime learning years@artistinresidence

it is fascinating and scary to consider the implications. especially class distinctions. will it be available only to rich people. that means they will be able to keep their wealth and get even more powerful and wealthy. @AnneHoney

Yes that will be an issue. A brave new world version of survival of the smartest.

We also are close to DNA IQ control for newborns. Can’t make everyone a genius. A genius won’t do well at repetitive labor.

good point. i hear politicians say that if you want to earn more money you need a college degree. that is true. but we still need plumbers, technicians,, bakers, mechanics. and they need to earn a living wage. they have dignity of work and skills. do they deserve cloning?@AnneHoney

We need vocational schools and apprenticeships. Hell plumbers and electricians make more than avg college grads
