Theoretically....could you kill your clone?

(Please give this some thought)
A parallel universe exists where everyone has a clone. For whatever reason your clone must die and it must be by your hand. Would killing your clone feel like a type of suicide, or could you easily do it? If you could do it, why?

Seeing me outside myself may open my eyes to things I never saw about me and I just might find a way to kill my clone. It would feel like a murder-suicide to me; more murder than suicide, as I'd still be here, but I'd feel a part of me died along with him.

Interesting, but what if your perceptions caused you to like yourself better?:)

Well, then it may be tougher to kill my clone. Mercy killing may be in order :-)

Gosh I really wanted to convey the thought process I was on much better! I wanted to put forth the idea that it's sometimes easier for us to be better to another person than ourselves, and if we were to stand outside of ourself so to speak (a clone) could we still easily take them out or would we want to protect them? :)

The idea that diverted me from treatment of self vs. others was that you set the rules one's clone must die by his/her own hand. That set up a scenario as an end by means and I didn't go down the 'evaluate myself from outside' direction lol.

I know, sigh. Sometimes my ideas work out fantastically in my head! lol
