To be sung to the tune of "Home on the Range"

O give me a clone of my own flesh and bone,
With its Y chromosome changed to X.
And when it is grown, then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.

Chorus:
Clone, clone of my own,
With its Y chromosome changed to X
And when I'm alone with my own little clone
We'll both think of nothing but sex.

O give me a clone, hear my sorrowful moan,
Just a clone that is wholly my own.
And if it's an X of the feminine sex,
Oh what fun we will have when we're prone.

(Repeat Chorus)

My heart's not of stone, as I've frequently shown
When alone with my dear little X
And after we've dined, I am sure we will find
Better incest than Oedipus Rex.

(Repeat Chorus)

Why should such sex vex, or disturb or perplex.
Or induce a disparaging tone?
After all, don't you see, since we're both of us me.
When we're making love, I'm alone.

(Repeat Chorus)

And after I'm done, she will still have her fun,
For I'll clone myself twice ere I die.
And this time without fail, they'll be both of them male,
And they'll each ravish her by-and-by.

Sex with a clone is like sex between twins.

It's incest.

A clone is a copy of a person, but it's not the same person.

Don't know that sex with a clone would qualify as incest.

Anyway, it's only a little tune.

I think it would be closer to masterbation.

Incest has to do with pregnancy and reproduction.

There is a taboo against incest because the offspring would be potentially malformed.

If you had sex with a clone of yourself that was altered to be the opposite sex then you could get her pregnant and have some wierd kids.

OK, if incest has to do with pregnancy and reproduction, as long as one uses proper prophylactic methods then intimacy with one's clone, sibling or biological parent is permitted?

There is a taboo against having sex with animals and babies too. If you use a rubber it doesn't make it okay.

(The taboo against incest was born well before the condom or the pill. We still have a taboo against it which began with the reproductive issue, but it has become part of our culture. "Incest" is disgusting to us like eating grub worms. Some people in the world eat grub worms happily. You could have sex with your clone happily but it's against our mores )

Will a clone be granted status within society as a human being? That's yet to be seen. Sex with one's clone may be regarded as some form of rather exotic masturbation, a little kinky perhaps, (a lot kinky?) but not considered taboo. Societal values change with the passage of time and as new things become reality. Ninety years ago in the US, giving women the right to vote was taboo. Today we can hardly imagine why it was ever an issue.
Grub worms aren't real bad. Not something you'd want as a staple food, but certainly not inedible.

Umm...clones can't be of the opposite sex. Then, they wouldn't be a clone, now would they?

But let's say the "clone" was genetically identical to you in every way except gender. Sex with that person would certainly be taboo, because that's as closely related as you can be to someone without being the same sex. The reason incest is taboo is due to the fact that incest results in a much higher frequency of genetic defects to children born to such a relationship. Such concerns would be aggravated if someone had sex with such a "clone." Unlike eating grub worms or allowing women to vote, the reasoning would be well-founded.

I do not see why a clone would not be considered as a human being.
A clone is not a facsimile - it is a different individual, with the same genes but many different features and a personality of its own. And, most of all, a difference in age - so at least sex with one's clone would be pedophilia.
