Clone Children

[StupidGuy]

If I clone myself twice, one being male, the other female, would the offspring be a copy of me, or some other person unrelated to my genetics. Also, what are the legal prosecutions for creating people just to prove this dumb point.

A clone of you would be identical to you, so the same sex.

[Old_Geezer]

The offspring would be a combination of whichever clone was involved and whoever the surrogate mother was.

[Old_Geezer]

Sorry, I should have just said mother. I don't think surrogate mothers generally supply the egg.

[Zacs-Master]

A clone of the opposite sex to what you are isn’t a clone.

You couldn't make a true female clone of a male, but if it was possible both could in theory pass on a different pattern of chromosomes but if both sets were the same I think they would match up. The surrogate mother would have no impact on genetics as the genetic material would originate from the donor egg and sperm.
