      It’s a quick reset, though. You’ll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.

        If a single celled organism successfully divides, is it dead? Wouldn’t a single cell eventually grow into a colony of clones, copying itself indefinitely until some random mutation or outside force prevents it from reproducing? Where would it be considered appropriate for us to consider a single celled organism dead?

          When it dies. Clones are individuals, with individual rights that are the same as any other individual. #clonerights #clonesarepeopletoo #justpassionateforafriend
