I felt bad for Imothet, the woman he loved and betrayed his Pharoh for didn't come to his aid, not so much for the clone.

I realized, in hindsight, after stomping on his hands and watching him fall to his death, what a dick I was to him.

My very first reaction to finding out I had a clone was "Well, f*ck you clone." I guess it was the educated guess that he was going to be an arse trying to take my place. Granted I didn't say I would mount his head on my wall like Renegade Shep, but maybe I should have been nicer...

Still deserved to be a mess on that window in the Wards for touching my hamster, though.

I felt bad for the clone, she was manipulated by Brooks for her whole (very short) life and in the end the one ally she had that wasn't there for the pay abandoned her.

If Mordin was still with us, he'd have said something like, "Human evolution- no wings...your survivability....Problematic."

Not necessarily. They would be in Shepard's shadow in the same sense that Shepard's crew is in his/her shadow, and the crew isn't seen like that. Brooks (as much a backstabbing liar she is) even says that the Normandy and her crew are legends in the galaxy. 

The Shepard clone would have a lot to contribute. I know my own Shepard would share in the glory wih him.

It was made for spare parts, then spent three years training to be the ultimate racist hero who was capable of replacing Shepard. It wasn't even needed for its first purpose, and it utterly failed in its second. If it loved it would only to be the real Shep's little double. I think it would be worse then being part of the crew.

Yeah, I felt bad for the clone. Imagine waking up with no memory. Then finding out you were only created to be a "donor" (and I use that loosely). You get brainwashed by the ****** who uses you and then you realize that your original is this god-like being who saved the galaxy...twice.

*shakes head*

I'll be messed up in the head. I was pissed that I couldn't save the clone. It would have been cool for Shepard to have a "sibling".

Tongue-in-cheek or not, it was literally the second most ridiculous sh*t to come out of the ME canon.

I felt kinda bad for the clone, but then I kicked him in the face. It put me at a little ease knowing he'll die either way.
Brooks on the other hand, **** was so smug when I got trapped in that vault. She forgot that no one messes with Harbinger Shepard.
Long story short, Javik fired her out of the airlock.

For some reason I just got a vision of Clone parachuting down to the surface to meet up with Gay Tony.

The clone isn't even a year old.

The clone behaves like that because it was being manipulated by Brooks.

It wouldn't be Shepard's double. It would be Shepard, only now twice over.

I'd feel bad for anyone manipulated/indoctrinated/brainwashed by Cerberus or any other extremist terrorist organisation, regardless of whether they happen to have the same DNA as me.

But it wouldn't be. That's like saying identical twins are the same person.

actually the age of a clone is based on inception date, and it's incubation period. Grunt was more by genetics than what it's mentor/medical crew invisioned for it/him...

the genes were there, as Shepclwone was caparitive to Shep other than motive, but his intellect was intact. As originalshep was after resurrection..

of course they could of altered codes'n stuff genetically, but that could alter Shepclwone to the point it couldn't function for mental reasons, as it alread appears insane. That in of it's self ruins the viablity of character. imho

But it isn't. Clones are distinctly different from identical twins. Identical twins don't even share identical genetics. A clone of me would share my genetics as well as my tastes and interest (unless otherwise conditioned).

A clone is a direct copy.

No, they're not. But they are.

Clones are created from DNA. The new being has the same exact DNA as the original. Twins are the same exact genetic composition, but accidentally got doubled. Theoretically, they are the same. Realistically, they aren't.

Genetically speaking, yes, they are. There would be no difference between a pair of monozygotic humans and a pair of cloned doubles.

But that wasn't my point. The point is that having identical genes does not make you interchangeable with another person, especially if you have radically different life experiences and formative environments.

That's the exact same thing I groaned about the first time I played it.

Right out of The Mummy Returns, no less.

I hated the clone story enough as it was without it ending like that.

Actually, it depends. MZ twins aren't always technical duplicates of one another due to TTTS, differences in mtDNA, and uneven distribution during separation. They may further differ if there are insertions in one (or both) genomes because of viral or bacterial vectors. They're only completely "identical" for practicality's sake.

On the other hand, genes can only determine proclivities. Two people, even if they are exact copies of each other, will not have identical personalities even if raised in identical environments.
