Three positions
Position 1
Prohibition
No clones of minors for any purpose. The risk to the future adult outweighs any short-term benefit.
Position 2
Strict parental consent + sunset
Permitted with parental consent only, with automatic destruction at age 18 unless the now-adult opts in.
Position 3
Educational-only carve-out
Voice and avatar clones are permitted only for clearly bounded educational uses with no public distribution.
Best practices
- ●Treat child likenesses as a categorically higher bar.
- ●Automatic destruction at majority is the responsible default.
- ●No commercial distribution under any circumstances.
