I guess I just don't see the point. Stick my consciousness into a computer so I or my pets can live past our deaths? Sign me up. But cloning? Who really cares?

I guess I just don't see the point. Stick my consciousness into a computer so I or my pets can live past our deaths? Sign me up. But cloning? Who really cares? It'd be like if I were to rush around the globe looking for the person who resembles me the most and pay them money to bear a child just so I can have a son who looks as similar to me as possible... while still not remotely being "me".
