Would you have a clone made of yourself with the correct gender?

Yes, it would be nice to see how my life could have turned out
No it would make life unbearable seeing what I missed out on
Unthinkable, we were never meant to play god

In order to see how your life would have turned out the clone would have to live under the exact same conditions that you did growing up. Everything would have to be the same. Otherwise, it would practically be a different person. A clone is only a clone regarding genetic make-up and DNA. Our environment affects how we adapt and develop most of our personality traits.

I wouldn't have a clone to make her an emotional/mental copy of me, had I been female then almost every event in my life would have turned out differently, friends, games played & different interest would have been acceptable for me (in the eyes of my parents).
If I was to recreate my life for my clone then I would be forcing her into a male role as my parents did to me & that would be bordering on child abuse
