I think you missed the "without a brain" part of that sentence. Growing a headless or brainless copy of myself for spare parts seems like a great idea without ethical issues.
- dnautics 6y agohow about we split the difference and grow headless clones and put an electrical brain inside of them as hordes of cyborg soldiers?
- krastanov 6y agoActually, if you get that electrical brain to run a simulation of my mortal biological brain, I would totally sign up for this at the age of 50 or 60 (coupled with euthanasia of the biological brain, and solving some legal questions about the humanity of the electrical simulation of my biological brain).

It would conceivably be faster, less wasteful, and perhaps easier than figuring out how to ethically produce a consciousness free human.
