Personally I don't see that as a problem. So long as you don't make me
responsible for raising or paying for the kid, you can copy me to your
hearts content. After all, its not me you are copying, but merely my
likeness. And what do I care if there are a million people on the planet
who look a lot like a I used to look several years ago?
