Senescence is absolutely fascinating. Mushrooms do something similar even though the mycelium can keep growing and colonizing new substrate, eventually it just can't produce any more mushrooms and has to start again from spores. There's a lot of theories about why, the truth is that nobody really knows or understands the reasons for it.

If you want to build a SW style Clone Army, and assuming that a single Clone rreaches the peak of its physical abilities between its 20s-40s, they will last for you only for a 500 years.

>There is a limit on how many times a mammal can be cloned before suffering “mutational meltdown,” Japanese scientists have discovered, after making 1,200 clones over two decades that started off with a single mouse.
The 58th generation of mice did not survive, establishing for the first time that mammals cannot be cloned an infinite number of times, the scientists said in a study published last month.
>It had been hoped that this method, which involves making clones of other clones, might have a range of uses in the future, including saving endangered species or mass-producing animals for their meat.
>"We had believed that we could create an infinite number of clones. That is why these results are so disappointing,” the study’s senior author, Teruhiko Wakayama of the University of Yamanashi, said.
>It was Wakayama’s team that cloned the first mouse in 1997, a year after the famous Dolly the Sheep became the first-ever mammal clone.
>For the new research, the scientists first cloned the original female mouse in 2005.
>Once a mouse reached three months old, they were cloned again, resulting in three or four new generations every year.
>Over the next 20 years, they carried out more than 30,000 cloning attempts that created over 1,200 mice.
>The process involved removing the DNA-containing nucleus of a cell from a donor animal and implanting it into an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus had been removed.
interesting
>The scientists sequenced the genomes of some of the clones, finding that they had three times more mutations than mice born via sexual reproduction.
>They also had larger placentas — and some were missing a copy of their X chromosome.
>“It was once believed that clones were identical to the original,” Wakayama said, but this was clearly not the case.
are they RETARDED? everyone KNOWS 'Artificial insemination' offspring has worse health. the egg is WOUNDED, it follows that clones cannot be identical to the original

What's the point of clones? It's not like a clone will be actually me, that's just some faggot that looks like me, it's not an extension of my life.
I guess it would be good for having spare organs like that movie but what else?
>>
>>533565227
Why is that surprising? If you clone a clone then obviously you'll get compounding defects that built up during the living one's lifetime.
You have to keep a pure original.

>>533566158
To make cloning worth it, youd also need to have someone invent a way to do a brain transplant. And by that point your using some very satanic means for achieving a longer lifespan.

reminds me of the AI training mechanism
you can't train AI on AI results forever because it will spew garbage after some time. You need real data to refresh the model. It's interesting that this seems to be built into the universe. Well, analog uncertainty principle is built into universe so that shouldn't really surprise me. When you quantize it, you lose information.

Nah you're thinking way too high level. You have to think like an international billionaire who funds this bullshit or a crypto zionist. They want clones to abuse and dispose of that they can keep completely off the record. They want to be able to make clones of themselves and then harvest the young organs out of those clones, or have one on standby for blood transfusions, stuff like that, so they don't have to rely on filthy commoner hears and livers that in their minds contaminate their spiritually perfect bodies.

They already do all of this life extension bullshit and some of that actually works. This is just a natural evolution.
>>
>>533566451
There's probably a practical limit, but it's likely in the thousands per generation.
To put that in perspective, even if that practical limit was 100, it'd be 100^56 potential clones

A "clone" a much more akin to a brother or sibling right? They aren't "me" they aren't even "me" from last month the clone would look like me and perhaps have some behavioral and mental inclinations similar to me but some aspect of Nurture and Autonomy would be present.
When you think of clones, do you guys also assume they are lobotomized or controlled in some "final" way that we arent? Cause no human, clone or not, is going to just smile and hand over their liver and eyeballs for free when the "real me" needs them.

We knew that even without this shit.
You can get your next Hitler a new body or 5 but the brain will die anyway after a while and you can't fix that.

>>533566445
Even if it would work easily, all you'd achieve to have 90+ years old brain in new 20 years old body.
Hand waving away the fact wouldn't be able to adapt to new 'case', you'd still have senile, failing brain.
On the positive note, you'd piss and shit yourself less.
>>
>>533565910
They'll start declining rapidly from the first batch onwards. Likewise, a large batch will have many defects, and they all have to get proper nutritions, education etc.
Cloning is just a cool technique, useful in avoiding trouble as you send a scapegoat to jail, or to do a chore you don't want to do (interview etc).
You can maybe run a government with body doubles that were groomed in your facilities too.

This isn't news. Why is this supposed to be surprising? This ties around to the fact that like all genetic material of existing life, you need to add fresh to genetic material to the mix to keep the purity of the original source intact so it doesn't break down and become imperfect; cancerous. It is interesting as to why exactly that is the rule in the first case and leads to the question of what came first, the chicken or the egg, and even Charles Darwin puzzled at that. It's clear genetics, flesh itself, the matter of life itself is inherently unstable and highly reactive to even basic environmental alterations. Yet the original source for such design is impossible to create without reaching into fantastic notions, hence is why everyone chalks it up to the divine.

At the end of the day, however, I think there is a fundemental rule that has to be considered and reviewed. "How do we analyze and understand how this process begins naturally, and improve in that to push past our limitations?". In the end it really is humanity that is limited at large, that's what frustrated the scientist. Perhaps the science is the point of issue, not the technique.

Overall, it's a fascinating subject.

There are potentially epigenetic and general senescence concerns to worry about that we do not fully understand at the moment. That is why this study has value even though we already knew about the concept of telomere shortening form earlier cloning experiments.
>>
>>533565227
Well, when they cloned Dolly The Sheep, the resulting specimen had the same genetic age as the specimen the sample was taken from.
So yeah, we sorta knew this in the 90's; this is just the natural extension of that, right?

It's a common sci-fi thing. It happened to the Asgard in Stargate.

Downlading concioussness, even if it could be real, is a tricky stuff.

>>533565227
What you have to understand is this is how far down the line a clone can be made before DNA degradation. Its like hand copying a book and using the previous copy to make another copy. Eventually the transcribing errors add up the the copy is far different from the source. The solution is just preserve enough source DNA for thousands of chains of clones. If you repeat that process per clone every generation you will get diminishing returns sure because less potential clones in the chain, but exponentially more sources of DNA to harvest from.
>>
>>533572453
>external difference
irrelevant. when you die you are dead. the clone is not you
>>
>>533577646
you can't "download" a conciousness. you might theoretically be able to create a digital copy, but you will still be there inside your flesh, you will die. what becomes of an actual mind when stored on a digital medium anyway? who knows, but if silicon were an ideal medium for the storage of consciousness then chatgpt wouldn't be retarded. it would probably be hellish to be stuck on a hard drive

>>
>>533580480
Also it's not a perfect clone anyway, so the entire argument is nonsense. The issue is with the system they use.

This is like saying you can't duplicate a picture forever, cause if you photocopy a photocopy it degrades to a point you can no longer tell what it is. Ok, so just copy the jpg file instead of photocopying it.
