Murder

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.

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

murder because youre killing another human.. another body.. its like killing your twin.. it can't be suicide because its not YOU its just your younger identical twin w/ a different mind and body.

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 :)
