Is it, though? Because as far as you're concerned, you're still alive? You can even testify at the murder trial, "No, your honor, that couldn't be murder because I'm right here. Go ahead, ask me anything about my life."

so what if you get cloned, and the clone insists it wants to destroy the imposter, the imposter being you, even though you are original, but how can they tell? what if he remembers more than you in the moment about your own life? and you are terminated?

What happens in international waters stays in international waters. If I'm running a combination human cloning lab and monkey knife fighting arena, that's my business. Why should everyone live by your sense of morality? What makes your sense of morality any better than anyone else's?

And, honestly, why would either one of them say, "I have to destroy the other! I am the original"? That's like some garbage out of a bad sci-fi movie. Please don't consider being a writer.
