"This is leaning heavily on the assumption that your personality is primarily a product of your genetics"
Not really. If you allow that it is even 1% due to genetics, that better parenting compounds over generations. And there is a lot of evidence that it is much more than 1%. I too experienced numerous traumatic events by the time I was 12 and was then prone towards neuroticism for decades after. I still submit I'd be a much better parent to a clone than someone who has half my dna.
- daenz 4y agoIt sounds like you're saying you'd consciously be a better parent to a clone because you know it is a clone.
- dymk 4y agoIt sounds like they're saying that they would end up being a better parent because it's a clone, not because they know it's a clone.
- daenz 4y agoI'm not trying to put them on trial but... The OP has no way of knowing if they would be a better parent, but yet they still very strongly think that they would be a better parent to a child that has 100% similar dna than 50% similar dna. How can you know this unless you are biased towards the idea of a clone? "I want a clone, more than anything" suggests there is bias.
- rhacker 4y agoActually the dna would still be more than 99.9% the same even with another parent.
