That's more like cloning, isn't it?  It'd be your body..but not *you*.

On the other hand..I was just thinking..what if you kept alot of "clippings" of you (or some other younger person) when you were younger and took them when you were old?  Your body would become young, right?? Therefore, you wouldn't die...at least not of old age.

*frowns* It's all very confusing, isn't it?
