Cloning
My son is threatening to clone himself. What should I say to him?
———- from Tammy Baker of Columbus, SC
Tell him he’d be violating Federal law and would spend the rest of his life in prison, leaving you alone and helpless, with a young clone to raise. You leave out some pertinent data. Why does he want a clone? To do his homework for him while he’s off listening to Chumba Wumba with his worthless friends? If that’s the case, throw him in jail and hope you have better luck with the clone. Seriously, cloning should only be done as a hobby. It’s what I do alone on a winter’s night, if I can’t find a jigsaw puzzle. But using clones to get out of work is a clear violation of ethics. That’s why God gave us lab assistants.
