...then farm it for organs as I get older and need them.

No, in all seriousness, a clone wouldn't really be me - the only thing we'd have in common is our genetic makeup. Our personalities and thoughts would likely differ greatly. I'd raise it just like I'd raise any other child. Some people get science mixed up with science fiction. You'll never be able to clone another "you".

Although, if we found a way to combine the Human Brain with Computers, there might be a way to do something like that - you'd require the clone for a new body as your old one dies. Of course, by the time that happens we'll likely be able to stop the aging process through genetic modification, so needing a new body would be rather pointless unless your old one was literally falling a part.

Personally, I'm all gun-ho for something like that - I want to live forever. :P
