37. You are given the chance to control what your legacy will be. You can’t specifically dictate how you will be recalled by future generations, but you are given the chance to choose between two general idioms of legacies. The first kind of legacy (“option A”) would be that you lived your days as a good, honest person who worked hard and contributed to society. However, the limitations of this legacy will be that almost no one will know or remember this information (including future members of your own extended family). Most average people will never even know you lived. The second kind of legacy (“option B”) will be familiar to almost everyone in the world for centuries to come. However, this legacy will be extremely strange and neutral; it will be an obscure fact that has almost nothing to do with your tangible day-to-day life (the best comparison being the legacy of General Tso Tsungtang, and extremely gifted and successful military leader during the seventeenth-century Qing Dynasty who is now exclusively remembered as the namesake for the popular Chinese dish General Tso’s chicken). Which legacy do you want?

38a. You have gained access to a cloning device. This device - which is single-use; once you have used it you can never use it again - will provide an exact clone of you; someone with the same memories and same personality, albeit with a separate consciousness (you can't read their mind). This clone will disappear 24 hours from now. In the time that you have together, do you decide to make out with the clone?

38b. Would your thoughts on the above be changed if the clone was of the opposite gender? (They remain identical in all mental functions, but they would look the same as you would have were you born that sex.)
