if i were to take one of sperm cells, and if there were a female clone of myself, and we put a sperm cell in one of her eggs, would it become a clone?

the process of impregnation is entirely up to your imagination.

It would not be an exact clone because of genetic crossover. It would have all the same genes as you, but not necessarily on the same chromosomes.

No, a child with someone who has your exact DNA will...

Yeah what this guy said. DNA will still be remixed, and different genes will be active or inactive.

I'd fuck myself to give birth to another version of myself several times.

Even without crossover it won't work. We inherit one of each pair of chromosomes from each parent. For each pair there's a .5 chance of the child getting the one you got from your mother and the one you got from your father, a .25 chance it will get two copies from your father, and a .25 chance it will get two copies of the one you got from your mother.

> a female clone of myself
If it's a clone, it will be male. If it's female, it's not a clone.

The female "clone" could be identical but with two copies of the donor's X chromosome, instead of XY. It would be as close as you can get.

>> No.1557417

No, it would not.
Let's say you have genes AB-CD-XY. Thus your female clone will have AB-CD-XX.
Child can have:
AA-CC-XX
BB-DD-XY
AB-DD-XY
AB-CC-XX
etc.
It would have only the genes you had, but not all of them.
