>>>This thread is for people interested in the analysis of the implications of cloning.

Let’s set the scenario: imagine a multimillionaire egocentric woman, she thinks she’s perfect and the humanity should be fulfilled with her.
She starts a fertility company with the only purpose of making fertilized ovules with her DNA. She offers those ovules to infertile couples.
The prince of the ovules and the marketing makes that in 20 years the 1% of the world population is a clone of that woman.

What would be the implications of this?

How would this affect the society and the biology?

>Cloning problems

The major hurdle here would be to properly impose a male germline epigenetic imprint on one set of chromosomes. I would have an idea where to start with this even ...

Do you remember school tests where a blank question grants you +0 but a wrong question gives you -1? That’s a rule that applies to genome.

It might sound good that people who wants children get ones by the cloned ovules, but no children is better than an excessive amount of children with the same genes

She already offers a solution. Just put some goop on your genetically inferior child.

Inbreeding problems. But I think you're overestimating how many of one person there would be in 20 years. There will be designer babies anyway so it doesn't matter

I think humanity's gone through worse genetic bottlenecks so we'd probably be fine.
Unless she's exceptionally genetically diseased.
Additionally most retarded kids are aborted so that covers that aspect of things.

Bloody good idea, men would've done it if anyone cared about sperm.
Approximately 0.5% of the world's male population—roughly 16 million men—are estimated to be descendants of Genghis Khan.
A 2003 genetic study identified a specific Y-chromosome lineage, often called the "star cluster", present in about 8% of men living in the region of the former Mongol Empire. This lineage traces back to a common ancestor approximately 1,000 years ago.

>Unless she's exceptionally genetically diseased.
She and all her likes are exceptionally genetically diseased. What people erroneously call "the Elites" are, in fact, the diseased bottom of the entire planet's genetic pool, yet they are the most desperate to seed the entire universe with their broken genes.

I'm currently with a brunette, but I want blonde children. Whats the best way to convince her to accept an egg donor without hurting her feeling? Since we can't clone I feel like this is the best way. My woman is wonderful, thats why I dont want another - but she has a few heritable traits I dont want my children to have.

Just find someone else. When you marry someone you need to accept the full package.
