    i seriously think bereaved people might actually try to do this

    I know members of my family, who when children died, had new children and even gave them the same names, saying they "came back"

    its really nothing that radical. we have been modifying dogs for centuries now with eugenics to serve us better. this is just the next step.

    I wonder how this can work to make certain species "better." Of course that's where I draw the line in playing GOD.

    this is an excellent use of the technology, especially if this is the dog that the cartels tried to have killed a few years back.

    Is it still true that clones don't live as long as the original animal or has that problem been solved?

    If she does love me then why won't she return my calls, my poorly worded letters made from letters cut from newspaper headlines and taser me when I showed up on her doorstep carrying a dozen roses while buck naked?

    Speaking as a professor of bioethics at Columbia University, I must state categorically that the only way human cloning can be justified from a moral, ethical, and legal perspective is if we clone Hitler.


    And then make him work at the Bluth banana stand.

    I guess another problem i'd have with cloning is that it's making a new person.


    stop. making. people.

    It appears that virgin births make for some pretty interesting fiction.


    Except for the birth of Jesus of course.


    Cause THAT'S not fiction. Right?

    @TheRealVeon: That table got edited out today, the editor called it "spurious". Looks like it gets edited in and out regularly; might do better as a link to the original compiler.
