Will cloning bring humans a step closer to immortality?  
   If a clone was created with my genetic code I would have an exact 
duplicate of myself. I'm not sure  what age my clone would be
once it was created. Also, would it have my memories if it became a 35 
year old human? 
   The immortality question comes from the possible harvesting of 
organs from my clone. I wouldn't suffer from organ rejection and I 
would have an endless supply of surplus parts. 
   What do you think?
