“According to the British survey [conducted by two think tanks and Cambridge University], while one in 10 men would like to be cloned, the rate among women is only one in 25. This could be because so many women dread the thought of running into clones of their first husbands. That said, even a 4% self-replication response holds out the daunting possibility of a Lady Gaga clone, another entire cast of the View and even more innumerable Kardashians. And for those who would welcome such a development, it would mean Cher would live forever."—Joe Queenan, “Moving Targets: Send in the Clones—No, Wait, Maybe Don’t,” The Wall Street Journal, June 18-19, 2022
