• Exactly. :P


  • @Yanny:

    Stem cell research basically is cloning, just on a smaller scale.

    Cloning complete humans really is pointless. I can’t think of a single practical application for it (except for 2 women wanting to have a baby w/o a male involved, or a male is “ill-prepared” for the task).

    There has been thought by some to purposely clone underaverage intelligent human beings and as they develop to take their organs for other people. I’ve seriously read something on this, just need to find it.


  • anyone read “brave new world”?
    that’s next on my “to read after school stuff” book list.
    please share your opinions.


  • A very creepy and disturbing book. Orgy porgy!


  • and now b4 u know it ur marketing it, pattoning it , and slaped on the side of a plastic lunch box and now ur selling it ur just selling it!

    We laugh now, but who knows what time may tell.


  • Its a weird book. Interesting though.

    On the harvesting organs issue, we don’t need to grow stupid humans to do it. Stem cell research can handle the organs.


  • Well Yanny,
    another way to finish your statment is “we don’t need to grow stupid humans to do it, there are plenty of living stupid humans we can harvest right now!”


  • Hey CC, you just gave me an idea of what to do with Canada :)

    And i suppose you guys have been wondering about all those abductions down there. Why do you think that its the people in Alabama, Arkansas, etc. that always see/get abducted by “aliens”.
    Little do you know that Canadian air force technology has not decreased since the Avro Arrow, and our American harvesting program has really stepped up with recent immunosuppression advances.


  • LOL, devious canucks. :wink:

    Aldous Huxley has conjured a dystopia where love is wrong, sex is oh too cheap, function is pre-ordained, identity is just about worthless. And then there’s Soma, the free ubiquitous dope that massages all anxieties, glueing together a society that has no apparent goal beyond efficient expansion of the hive. Woe – such a world, where there is no room for such a Savage as me!

    Did I forget to mention it was 60 years ahead of its time in exploring the meaning of genetic engineering? Let’s read up and push forward the arguments - - as there is no technology that has not been expanded and exploited once discovered, we will have to live in humancloningland … our kids’ kids certainly will! So we may as well get deep into reflection upon the ramifications nowadays. Bogus though the Raelian infants may yet prove, this episode is a front-page harbinger of Things To Come – and they are soon in coming, me brothers, soon.

    (HAPPY BRAVE NEW YEAR AWREDDY!!)

    [[[“Brave New World” is a provocative counterpoint to “1984” – the Orwell novel is concerned with direct oppression of the independent mind, via monstermedia, monsterbureaucracy, (and John Ashcroft’s wet dream police state), while in the Huxley world there are like no independent minds left to worry about controlling – each cute little brainstem & embryo has already been programmed before “birth” and relentlessly hammered into a robotic, permanent childhood.]]]

    {but don’t take my word for it!}


  • What is Yanny going to do with Canada?


  • anyone read “brave new world”?

    Good book. :)


  • See, Canadian intelligence is comes into play when they go to Alabama to get organs. You don’t know where those rednecks have been!


  • It’s awful to clone! No matter if it’s animals or humans.

    “Saves lives”, yeah right, how? We can’t produce cloned people to use their spare parts if that’s what anyone believes.
    The world already is over-populated, this will just lead to another problem.

    Even if you just want to use genetics to create your dreambaby, that’s discusting. How can you call it yours then? It’s not your child, it’s something someone put togheter. Adopte someone instead.


  • With the right technology I have no objections to cloning.

    The world already is over-populated, this will just lead to another problem.

    Far too often this amounts to, “Do as I say, not as I do.” :-?


  • Nostradamus predicted that Canadian technicians would abduct frozen Alabaman embryonic blood packets in order to utilize their stem cells as a medium in which to clone Jerry Lewis – and he further predicted that this cloned comedian would operate the first no-cover night club on Mars. He did not predict, however, whether the club would be a swinging success in its first season.


  • Stem cell research is cloning on a small scale. With Stem Cells, you don’t grow humans and take their organs, you grow organs alone.

    Overpopulation? Naw, theres a Nuclear war coming soon.


  • I think, Yanny, you are right on using stem cells to grow organs alone – but wrong on the next nuke war as a population-buster. I don’t see the global thermonuke holocaust (like the US-USSR Cold War-Dr. Strangelove scenario) happening. {knock on wood} I see an exchange of fewer than 10 nukes, and not between superpowers… 50-50 chance one or more superpowers does take part, but not directly against another superpower.

    (by “superpowers” here, let’s suppose I mean US, Russia, China, UK, France :::: the major nuke stockpilers)

    So who else does that give us, looking only two or three years down the line:
    India, Pakistan, NKorea, SAfrica, Israel, certain of the former Sov republics that have supposedly disarmed, various non-state organizations, some nation or non-nation based in South America, Africa, Europe, Asia - - - and of course::::: CANADA!!!

    Anyway, not enough to cause nuclear winter, not enough to make much of a dent at all in human population, but more than enough to give just about everyone a really rotten day.

    Now here’s an ax to grind: the non-weapon nuke power reactors around the globe… I see a meltdown due in a country other than US (TMI) & Ukraine (USSR at time of Chernobyl). The real nuclear war is ongoing punishment of air, water, wonderful dumb animals, plants, and those mischevious human beings who insist on digging up, concentrating, enriching and dispersing uranium and plutonium to the four corners of the world.
    Why a new meltdown? Well either we must assume that in the years that have passed since TMI & Chernobyl, most nuke power facilities around the world have been really professionalized and hardened vs. negligence, accident, terrorism, etc. … or that most have not. If the latter is true, I think it is just a matter of time, and I could be wrong about all of this but I don’t think terrorism will be the cause – more likely to be corporate greed and negligent safety, construction & maintenance procedures and practices.

    This is well off the subject of cloning. But it certainly has to do with population pressure. All I know is, the expense of building a billion windmills, and the human and property cost if they all fell down… well, it would have to be less than one single Chernobyl. Clone solar!


  • now i would like to know what does every one have against Red Necks ? i mean they are realley nice peps.
