CLONED!

“I say dig up William Holden (the deceased actor). He's very handsome, and get his DNA. Okay, I'm 44, and I'll wait until he reaches 20 years old after being cloned, then I'll be 64 years old, just perfect!”

“I think Bette Midler had a line about that....

"20 goes into 64 a Helluva Lot More than 64 goes into 20" or Something like that, <G>”

“"HELLO< Brad Pitt!!!


now that would work for me :)"

“Has anyone seen the movie species????? Looks a little too similar for my taste.”

Good God, man!!!! Do you plan to eat your clones?”

“My clone did it!”

“can you clone bologna??????”

“Well, #&%!$, guys. It looks like a lot of us may be out of a job.”

“Will you guys quit cloning around!”

“Clone, clone on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play...”

“If you clone your friends, will it make you popular?

If you clone your enemies, will it make you a politician?

If you clone your yourself will it make you?”

“No to your last question. Environment has alot to do with who you are...so unless you can create exactly what happened to you the clone act and think different than you. Only on a cellular level will the clone be the same.”

“Oh yeah? Prove it, smartypants.”

“Because identical twins are different from each other. Diff likes and dislikes and such.

Nyah! :0”

“Yeah, I KNOW that, but a twin is a twin and CLONE is a CLONE.

Didn't you see Star Wars?!”

“A clone is nothing more than an individual that has the same genetic make up as another(though through cell manipulation). A clone is the artificial twin of another individual. It still has to go through gestation and be born and grow. Hence the twin reference.”

“Ah... the classic Nature vs. Nurture debate.

Remember: you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on your saddle.”

“I dunno, tilt. You should see some of my friends...”

“SO tango, you're saying that if I clone Celine Dion, and strap her to a couch for several years feeding her nothing but a steady diet of doughnuts, bacon, cream and dreambars, while ensuring she was completely unable to do anything but sing, I might get something closer to Aretha Franklin?”

“That's blasphemy Phaedrus!!!!”

“Listen, I'm just trying to make sense of this whole cloning thing.

So If I clone David Duchovny, put his head in a jello mold at birth, allowing him to grow a large and unsightly forehead, force him to take bovine growth hormones until his hair falls out and he developes a perpetual slack-jawed-drop-eyed look, and force him to take acting classes from the age of two - I might end up with something closer to John Malkovich?”

“Actually, I'd like to have a Mariah Carey clone. With training, I'm pretty sure she could serve as a good dog whistle.”

“LOL”

“Lets get down to the primal needs...sex is to keep any species from extinction. So if we can clone ourselves...we don't need any more of those ugly physical and pyscholoigal etc. baggage.”

“I am a backpacker at Henan province in China.If you travell in China,maybe we can
help you.Our website is http://www.hnhw.com.
Come on,join us.”

“Justing, you got to start a new thread.”

“Stan I hope sex isnt just for reproduction...That would completely ruin my night!”

“Human genetics is not purely the genes you start off with. We are now finding that genes are modified in utero and during life by environmental factors. What may start out as identical before the first cells division, doesn't stay identical.

"Identical twins" are truly clones, just natural ones.

The scary part to me is that while we may think the genetic material is intact in the clones, we won't really know for sure till we have a few and the live for some time.

Will humans be cloned? You bet. I don't think there is any way to stop it. It'll be harder to stop than the development of "weapons of mass destruction", but that doesn't mean it is right to do. Our technology almost always outpaces the ethics that deals with it, and there are always unintended and unexpected consequences of new technology. Hey, without our computer and internet tech, we wouldn't know Phaedrus exists!”

“By some coincedence, I turned on the tube last night and they were showing The Boys From Brazil.

<yikes>”

“I watched it too last night, Tilt. Thought about the posts the other day on this thread (Anna Nicole Smith). If Mengele were alive today, that would be his next project”

“Pat Buchannon?


<<JUST KIDDING!!!>>”

“That's sad, why?”

“whats the deal with the guy in the glasses? he looks evil...”

“She developed some lung disease at 6 that usually only really old sheep get. They put her down out of mercy.”

“That's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad news.”

“And who said there'd never be another ewe?”

“Any guy willing to lose a rib for another Eve?”

“Having spare ribs for supper tonight! We probably won't eat them all, Eve is welcome to join us.”

“The cross-sex clone is a popular science fiction conceit...”

“The Raelians are back in the news. 300 of them got naked and lay down creating the message "I heart GM" (the 'GM' is for genetically modified food).

You can view it at http://www.rael.org/int/press_site/full_screen_photo/lovegm_eng.jpg. They are naked but the photo is from quite a distance so no naughty bits are visible.

I really wasn't concerned about GM food before, except I feel it should be labled, but now I am not so sure.

They also declare that they are ready to clone Dracula.”

“well, finally...a Drucula clone!
;-D

and what's with the "i heart GM" thing? is it sarcastic, or what? the very idea makes me shudder...”

“oh wait, i bet they really mean it.”

“They are naked but the photo is from quite a distance so no naughty bits are visible


oh well then i not going!!



they will clone anything anymore.”

“Stop cloning around!”

“These people make Scientologists look like St. Theresa.”

“I bet the satellite guys at Langley are turning up the resolution!”

“From their press releases: "In his latest book: YES TO HUMAN CLONING, RAEL explains why genetically modified foods are the future of humanity".


I also see that they believe that Christ's resurrection was really done through cloning.”

“Why are these people obsessed with cloning? Isn't making people the old fashion way a little more fun?”
