All respect, it's a difference of opinion and I'll not condemn anyone for following that logic, as mine has no more merit.
My belief is based on my upbringing.
I can't help fearing some part of the original is still alive.
The genes don't change. It's the same plant, and maybe it's ok with it, But I don't know. Or I could just be watching too much Dr Who.
I took bio, bio 2, biochem, anatomy, human anatomy, lol etc etc but that was decades ago. What I do know is that intelligence is undefined, and on a larger scale my life is no more valuable than that of a blade of grass.
Buuuttt! That grass was just as ruthless about crowding out others to meet its needs and if cloning satisfies your needs then it's just how it is.
My hypothesis makes me guilty where others are guiltless doing the same.
Time for some Rick and Morty reruns lol
Even if the plant is conscious and continues to be so, clone-to-clone, how is that "upsetting"? Imagine being able to live your life, over and over, fulfilling purpose, yet perpetually getting "better" (assuming optimal "environment"). Sounds like an awesome place "to be".
