You and your clone

We would both be the mother of my children. How could I kill the mother of my children?

Over the head with a shovel and bury them under the patio, like everyone else.

I'd kill it first, to stop it from taking over my life.

Because, as me and my clone both know, getting proper, fake ID is very hard, and throw in biometrics, and we're both in for shit.  Only one can survive.

But you'd have identical biometrics, which is unlikely but not impossible for two people to have, biometrics can only positively determine that two people are not the same--and even then it's horribly inaccurate. Though with DNA and fingerprints you'd still be fucked in court, if you'd tried to screw yourself over :)

If you're certain you'd have to kill him, remember you're both equally strong and equally smart, so any edge would have to come from random circumstance factors, you might as well flip a coin and go for a painless suicide?

If you can rationally and honestly come to that conclusion, so would your clone.

Though if you secretly want to try and out-Xanathos-speed-chess them, all bets are off ;-) [but it'll probably hurt a lot, even if you win]

It would mean establishing any other identity would be impossible, because the DNA would link back to my ID, meaning mine would be the only viable one for my clone to have.  Any other would present the risk of being detected as going under a false ID, and so being brought in for questioning.

And like I'd fight fair.  You kill people when they're asleep, so they can't fight back.  With a shovel.  Or lock all the escape routes from the outside and torch the building (remember to knock over the tv and start it from there, so it looks like an accident).

Part of the awesome of having a clone would be that it would share my identity. It would hardly give me an edge if she had her own identity, would it? We'd just use the same ID. It would mean that we couldn't leave the country together, but I don't see that being a problem.

I guess it could be a little creepy for any prospective suitors, though.

Or, alternately, a HUGE BONUS!

Then, there's always the fact that you've pretty much ALWAYS got "reasonable doubt."

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Legally, we would be the same entity, so I doubt it would matter in a court.

President Television

I'd fight him. No doubt about it. He'd fight me anyway.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Phox

I'd like to say, I'd do all of the above. Fuck, fight, murder.... on the other hand, there sheer shenanigans two of me could get up to.... it would be pretty epic....


ETA: Alternatively, I could pull a Dr. McNinja and get degrees in every field ever and figure out how to recombine into a single entity with all the acquired knowledge...

Pæs

I'd kill him for planning to kill me based on the assumption that I am planning to kill him.
Then I'd use the body in a resurrection scam and convince people I was Jesus returned.

One could always find a corrupt bureaucrat to create a birth certificate indicating identical twins. This would then give the clone the second identity necessary.

Bonus.

There would be two of you. Two vaginas, four tits, and you're the same person so it's all good. What's not to like about that?

Which would also be a drawback when the suitor is in the dog house. Because then there's two of you mad at him. But he wouldn't think about that until it was too late.
