The only date that I remember clearly is my birthday… Other then that, I’m lost.
I would like to applaud you for getting in with this quote before anyone else did. Jolly well done.
I thought Human Cloning was illegal. Isn’t it?
Some countries have yet to pass laws in respect of human cloning (whether therapeutic or reproductive).
I guess I can see a war with this issue involved sometime in the future.
But, fuck.
Here’s a link to what I think is a great editorial cartoon by Pat Oliphant regarding this topic: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/uclickcomics/20021227/cx_po_uc/po20021227
“Raelian sect gets the kind of serious money required to clone 5 people.”
They believe that we came from aliens too, maybe the aliens gave them the money.
Well, we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later, and Its supposedly happened, so we might as well just get used to it.
Or we could have a war over it…
Straight from the mouth of the scientific director of Clonaid, here is all the proof you’ll need:
Who needs that stupid old DNA testing anyway? If the baby looks like the grandmother, then it must be true!
It amuses me that this is the scientifc director spouting such nonsense…
3 hijacks:
-
The doctor is saying the grandmother claims the baby looks like the mother did when she was a baby. I think. Hardly scientific, as you say.
-
The really scary thing about cloning, to me, is the possibility of a clone army, bred to be heartless warriors, shielded from all culture so as to lack any compassion for the people they’re killing. Too many sci-fi novels, I know. But it could happen.
-
Every time I see this thread title, I think: “A clone is born / In hard-time Mississippi…”
Carry on.
Huh, my grandmother says I look just like her mother, who died in 1918. I didn’t realize they had cloning back then.
