Newborn clone allows me to ‘become my own blood boy’

He's not good in philosophy, is he?

Considering what he might think if those things are (literally) done to himself.

This guy will die from his hubris someday

Yeah I'm about his age but I think I'll outlive him.

How do you think it'll happen? Bonus points if it's creative

Not creative...he induced an autoimmune disease by taking some stupid peptide. It will eventually kill him.

He gave himself an eventual fatal autoimmune disease by injecting peptides.

Be hilarious if his clone escapes and replaces him. Sad part is we wont know.

This spotlight craving bitch did nothing of the sort. He's got someone growing a few of his cells in a pitri dish, nothing more.

FYI. This is illegal in most countries. Guess which shit hole it's legal in, as long as it's a private company?
