    There would be a new word- murdicide!

    Another question would be- would you die along with them?

    Basically, a clone is someone who looks, act and has the same personality as you. The clone is considered as someone else. So, unless if you kill YOURSELF, that'll be suicide. But if you're killing someone/somebody other than your own, that'll be murder. Btw, that was an awkward question... Did you clone yourself or smth? x)

    Murder,

    You are killing another living being, the DNA was cloned into another being, not a direct mirror image of you.

    Now if you were able to go to the future and kill the past you that would be suicide.

    Murder, suicide would mean, me killing myself not my clone. My clone is the copy of me, not me.

    Cloning is possible, it happens quite naturally and spontaneously when the fertilised ovum splits and produces two genetically identical individuals. We call them identical twins, and if one twin killed another we would certainly call it murder if it was done with malice, prepense and aforethought.

    Murder. It would be the same as killing your identical twin.

    It's murder if you kill your twin (clone). and

    It's suicide if you kill yourself.

    Murder.

    All though your biologically identical, you're still your own person.

    Im an identical triplet, and i hate when people assume me and my sisters personalities are the same because they're sooo different :)
