\\\'\\\'In the \\\'\\\'StarTrek: DeepSpaceNine\\\'\\\' episode \\\"A Man Alone\\\" it is explictly stated that killing a clone, including one\\\'s own, is treated like any other murder. Contrast this with the \\\'\\\'{{Star Trek The Next Generation}}\\\'\\\' episode \\\"Up the Long Ladder\\\" (intended as {{An Aesop}} about abortion) in which Riker apparently feels perfectly justified in killing two clones of himself and Doctor Pulaski.\\\'\\\'

to extend the ([[AccidentalAesop possibly unintended]]) abortion metaphor, they nothing to suggest that the clones that Riker killed was activated or \\\'out of the womb\\\', while the clone on \\\"A Man Alone\\\" was walking, talking and clearly had \\\'personhood\\\'. while [[YourMileageMayVary YMMY]] clearly applies with this, there \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' a [[NotSoDifferent difference]] between the two
