Love a clone?

[Randy]

If someone you loved was killed in front of you, but someone created a copy of them that was perfect right down to the atomic level, would they be the same person and would you love them just as much?

I watched a very effed up clone movie starring Matt Smith called Womb.

The lady's dude died, she manages to give birth to his clone and when he was old enough she tried to get with him...

That's a bit crazy, @Fae - Wow.

I'm going to have to check this movie out or a trailer for it.

They would not be the same person, they would just look the same. So, no.

A good example of this is identical twins.

This topic was nothing like I thought it would be based on the title. When I read that I thought it was going to be about whether you could love a clone of yourself.

As for the topic, no, I agree with Neb and Wes that they wouldn't be the same person.
