    they have been portreyed as aging too fast sometimes but its usually because they speed up their aging so the clone can be fully grown in a year or two not 18, and therefore they die at 7 or 8 not 70 or 80 or whatever, its not a feature of a being a clone its like that because they’re making clone armies or whatever in a movie. A clone isn’t some ‘special’ category of life. Its just a self replicating genetic sequence that makes a person, like you or me, its just that it so happens to be the same blueprint as was used before. but its not like the cells knows any of that, for all intents and purposes a clone of you is literally no different than you are, at the start anyway, chaotic systems and all that

    so in this context of cloning lenin:

    A clone of lenin would not actually become lenin, that is not how human beings work. He’d probably have health issues with strokes or whatever like lenin did, because biology/ genetics, but its not like he would be born based. And he wouldn’t age any faster than normal lenin
