Time traveling in the mind of a clone?

Okay we are nearly at the end of 2015 and it's time to post another rambling. Here is today's what if?

What if you could bring back to life through cloning anybody you wished. This thought successfully kept me from bedtime z's. Because surely if you could bring somebody back to life through cloning the first natural thought would be that the person who has been cloned isn't 'that person' and that's a natural thought to have because that person has died. Does that mean that when you die everything about you dies with you, so if you were to come back as a clone then surely it wouldn't be you? I think I am now successfully confusing everybody, to put it in a way that even I could understand was, if you imagine cloning is baking a cake all the ingredients (chromosomes and DNA) to make you originally in your mother's womb were all worked out and if performed successfully in a laboratory, following the "recipe" surely you would make a carbon copy of yourself? So if you had the conundrum posed to you you could either bring back to life that loved one through cloning or go back in time and stop whatever caused that person to die at that point in time. I believed in the latter as cloning is a can of worms I really don't think we need to open, but I certainly believe in hundreds of years well past my time, cloning will have been achieved in humans and on the cusp of introducing human clones to society. Scary thought but not beyond the realms of possibility, I truly believe that this is more viable than time travel. Personally time travel would be the lesser of two evils. Why do we also think it's unacceptable to play God however we play God every time the sperm reaches the egg, and that is determined by a male and female mutually agreeing in the sexual intercourse kind. So we have the power in our hands to create life, we also have the power in our hands to destroy life the latter being socially unacceptable which comes with a prison sentence. So surely we are our own gods of our own life so why would cloning be so unacceptable. May I quickly no tear I don't believe we should be able to clone people and that it is going to far.

Also I am a believer of fate, that when it's your time to go from this place we call Earth, like final destination horrifically spells out to us you can only prolong the inevitable. This would also put paid to my time travel theory because if you miss the allotted time for your death then inevitably is gonna occur somewhere else until it happens. Then my wonderful mind decided to throw this conundrum into the pot of theories if you were to go back in time and change the course of events that caused you to die for example who's to say that by you changing that event that you wouldn't survive a die of old age for example, we have no idea. If we can change that event then it wouldn't happen it's not a rule that if you miss or cheat death then you will need to pay the piper at another point? I don't remember that being a rule.

From one connection to another by mind then decided to debate the theory that if you go back in time and change the course of events however insignificant, it might drastically change the future. He's a thought to leave you with then, if I went back in time and prevented pushbike disaster/accident in 2001 there is no way that the whole world could end due to me changing this significant course of my history?

So here's to another year as an anxiety disorder sufferer overthinking and randomly rambling on about life's 'what ifs'

Good night out there, whatever you are.
