Clones are individuals

July 17th, 2006, under ,

I don’t really know in what way this could be news, but here it goes: “a cloned human would probably consider themselves to be an individual“.

More interesting than the claim, which I personally take to be a no-brainer (but what do I know?), is the way we have a singular “a cloned human”, which is used as the reference to the plural “themselves”. The marvels of language.
