Now THAT would be cool! :thumbs-up: :bouncer:

Yes I have, I actually got info on it once for a paper I was writing, you get $5000 per time you have eggs "harvested," but the questions, etc. you have to answer are amazing, and the drugs you must subject yourself to are also terrible.

I hope Ken doesn't get ahold of the cloning gun.
He'll start an army.
Then we'd all be in trouble.
:crackhead:

As long as idiots are allowed to reproduce by normal methods, does it really matter if it is from sex or a test tube?

Toddler dies in car
Quote:PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A 2-year-old girl died Monday after her grandfather left her in his car for nearly eight hours as he went to work and ran an errand, police said.

The grandfather was taken into custody but no charges were immediately filed.

The man had picked up the girl, Sasha Fogle, to take her to the baby sitter but apparently forgot to drop her off and went to work, said Capt. Thomas Lippo.

After working a few hours, the grandfather went to a car dealership to make an appointment for maintenance and then went home, police said.

"He then noticed Sasha in the back seat of the vehicle," Lippo said.

The grandfather called 911 and the toddler was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead of apparent heat exhaustion, police said.

The temperature reached 96 degrees Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Clone the Dodo Bird. Clone the Dodo Bird.

Extinction does not have to mean "forever".

People wonder why I'm so cynical...

we're all doomed. it's just a crapshoot of the many ways we're going to do it to ourselves

Don't fuck with Mother, this will all come back to us in time

you cant stop science, nor should we. trying to stop cloning is the same as imprisoning galileo for heresy.

keep your morality away from the stem cells. become a mennonite if science scares you.

Truer words have never been spoken.
I must be a cynic, too. :toast:

I fall somewhere in the middle. I think MUCH good could come of this type of research. I have also seen how we have totally fucked things up when we start to play with forces we don't understand.

The Trigger by Arthur C. Clarke, Michael P. Kube-McDowell

Good story about the inevitablility of scientific discovery and the responsibility they bring.

Stem cell research is good if it can help cure diseases such as cancer, etc. but cloning yourself and raising it as your own child is not.
