If you could reproduce asexually, and just pop out another tiny baby clone of you with your own DNA, and raise that as your kid, would you?

Absolutely yes. You would know their strengths and weaknesses and know exactly how to best encourage them to achieve. It would be like being a parent that trained all your life for your job.

Creating a new person by mixing together with the one you love is more fulfilling and beautiful than raising a copy of yourself.

I can barely take care of myself. Why would I want to take care of two of me?

I have my hands full with my own little mini-me already. But I have fertility issues that precluded the whole conversation of a second child and my little one wants a sibling so... If that were available I'd consider it depending on how it compares to fertility treatment
