It's true. Mine is quite attuned after three years at a women's college.

I love that people cry over a few animals getting beaten up, but cloned humans are fine.

Everyone go read this. Even if you disagree, still a cracking sci-fi.

And what the fuck is up with those idiots in Washington trying to repeal the Inheritance Tax? Capitalism uber alles...

I'm also quite surpirsed that no here has an objection to cloning.

Lol. Did you see the Daily Express had a "Crusade to End Inheritance Tax"?

They gave out bumper stickers saying "inheritance tax is theft".

Gordon Brown was terrified! (not really)

No, I missed it. That is a new low for the tabloids of this country, I must say.

hmmm.. i actually protested against cloning :roll: ... and it's not just a few animals..


cloning is bad, mmkay?

I don't know what you were trying to accomplish with this rant, but you need to get your facts straight.


Cloning is teh sux. One of the biggest problems mankind will face in the coming years is overpopulation and the growing group of old people. Developing technologies to keep people alive longer is adding to that problem. Besides form this I don't think we should start messing with the way the system of nature works. Especially when the consequences are so hard to anticipate.

Cloning is awesome. Replacing destroyed limbs = the win. Curing diseases = the win.

GO CLONING.

There's a big difference between cloning a new limb for an amputee, and cloning an entire human.

would you care to explain how it is possible to clone a new limb without cloning a entire human?????

Can they not grow ears on the back of mice? Surely an arm just calls for a bigger mouse...

Just make the limb. I don't know why everyone thinks you'd have to clone an entire human just for hacking purposes.

like maybe a big rat?? or a ferret or something. I must admit i don't know the ins and outs of cloning but i would have thought to get human arm you clone a human, then remove the arm.

As Eternal said, just grow it. Can't they grow anything from some skin cells and a bit of genetic editing?

Just grow it???? come guys??? grow it on what, an arm tree?

are you saying that under some kind of lab conditions that in say a incubator of some kind its possible to grow select body parts??? *goes to google to find out more*

no one here is by any chance, a genetics scientist? or does anyone know a genetic scientist?

Grow is the wrong word. Manufacture would be a better term. Remember that cloning is called "Genetic Enigneering."

I think it is actually possible to clone organs and limbs without cloning a whole person. Cells have specific functions so if you found what cells are in liver tissue, just get those specific cells and clone them, and voila, a new liver!

As DM said - Curing Disease and having infinite donor organs is good.

I say, cloning a whole human being is bad.

i agree with my fellow dane. .. and btw Leee, we Euro folks hardly consider ourselves "Euro Folks", but refer to our own nationality, due to the differences in cultur and language etc... and we only have 5,7 % unemployed in my country and no one is starving, thank you very much ... and we have high taxes because our welfare system is different from the american version - free healthcare etc... but it doesn't matter, in the end we have just as much money, and we don't have to work nearly as much to support ourselves.

and to quote myself from earlier:
