- eramos, on 04/22/2009, -4/+124That's a strange way of spelling Megan Fox
- AlpineStars777, on 04/22/2009, -2/+92I would rather see a real dinosaur in my lifetime.
- brad3378, on 04/22/2009, -3/+78I volunteer Stephen Hawking to be the first candidate to be cloned.
- thedcam, on 04/22/2009, -1/+55I swear that picture looks like any bad guy from a Bond movie.
- rockstar1o9, on 04/22/2009, -1/+47I'm voting for the first politician who promises "a Megan Fox in every bed"
- jer21, on 04/22/2009, -0/+43"God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs..."
- heystellah, on 04/22/2009, -0/+33"Little Cady died aged 10 in a car crash in the US. Her blood cells were frozen and sent to Dr Zavos, who fused them with cow eggs to create cloned human-animal hybrid embryos. . .Dr Zavos said he would never transfer hybrid animal clones into the human womb. . .However, cells from Cady's "embryo" could in the future be extracted from the frozen hybrid embryo and fused with an empty human egg with its nucleus removed. This double cloning process could produce a human embryo that Dr Zavos said could be transferred into the womb to produce Cady's clone."
Wow. - redheadguy719, on 04/22/2009, -4/+33"Dinosaurs eat man....woman inherits the earth...."
- elshanero, on 04/22/2009, -1/+22I want them to clone a mastodon so I can eat a mastodon burger like Fred Flinstone. They have the DNA, it's just a matter of time...
Om nom nom nom - elshanero, on 04/22/2009, -1/+16Like ginger people?
- morepowerr, on 04/22/2009, -1/+16Seconded. As long as they can fix the chair thing.
- Feep, on 04/22/2009, -1/+15Look, I'm anti-cloning, but cloning does not "pollute the gene pool". The DNA is exactly the same. That's what cloning is.
Now, if a significant portion of the human race is genetically identical, then some problems arise. For instance, I might have a more limited selection of hot women from which to choose. - JQP123, on 04/22/2009, -4/+17But does it necessarily mean you shouldn't? Aside from religious objections, what is the real danger from it? How is it any worse than the fertility treatments that are currently done on a daily basis?
- DouglasQ, on 04/22/2009, -0/+12Jurassic Park quote = instant digg.
Just quote Futurama if you want more easy diggs out of me. - supremegoat02, on 04/22/2009, -1/+12Crazy Cloning Guy: "I Can clone a human"
Decent Reporter: "Really? You've successfully cloned a human?"
Crazy Cloning Guy: "Well...no...not successfully."
Decent Reporter: <<Stands up and walks away>> - brad3378, on 04/22/2009, -0/+10Yeah, but we should keep his voice.
- medfreak, on 04/22/2009, -1/+11I want cloning to continue and improve. Maybe at one point we can finally be able to clone specific human organs in a short period of time which will end the need for donors.
- nwoantibody, on 04/22/2009, -2/+11theres nothing extraordinary about this, welcome to 2009
- KineticShampoo, on 04/22/2009, -1/+10You guys should read the book 'Brave New World'. It's a great read and deals with human cloning and the human race going somewhat hivemind.
- readme, on 04/22/2009, -2/+11Attack of the Clones.
- ryanhayn, on 04/22/2009, -1/+9Wrong. They'll have the same body, just a different soul, kinda like monozygotic twins.
- zip000, on 04/22/2009, -0/+8I wonder if I was the only one that pictured the "hybrid" embryo implanted not into a woman but into a cow.
- badenglishihave, on 04/22/2009, -4/+12That would be a catastrophe. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction.
- OffensivePrick, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7Weird to see the earliest roots of the Tleilax in real life...
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7I don't think you quite understand what a clone is.
- ahhell, on 04/22/2009, -2/+7Where's the 5 assed monkey, damnit?!!!!
- Krissam, on 04/22/2009, -0/+5Yea, there's so many reasons it's awesome to be Jesus
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/fil ... - seanstuart, on 04/22/2009, -0/+5I fail at sarcasm.
- Akairenn, on 04/22/2009, -0/+5I totally agree - let's bring nature back to society.
Time to give up the automobile and clothing. - bentman78, on 04/22/2009, -0/+5bub.... bub.... shissshh
Thank you ladies and gentleman...his name is MiracleBlue and he's here all night. - ChileanGoD, on 04/22/2009, -2/+7Did anyone ever asked himself what a cloned human would feel like? ... Has anyone ever though of the psychological implications it might have on a person?
That at some point in your life you're told... hey.. you know what.. You're not original. You're just a copy of a human we though was worth cloning. That your mom and dad aren't your real mom and dad. You are you, you have your personality, but your body it's just a copy and your existence will be judged upon how you compare to the original.
There's a lot of ethical ground to cover before cloning humans and cloning them for the fun of is just wrong. - awesometastic1, on 04/22/2009, -4/+9We still have Einsteins preserved brain. Maybe splice Hawking's and Einsteins DNA?!?!?! Ooh and throw in that one chick who has the highest recorded IQ at 220-ish. She's still alive and writing her little "ask so and so" "Q/A" column basically wasting away her smarts. They could use her eggs. *cackles evilly steadily louder and louder* muhuuhahaha...
- Hello1024, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4Amen to that.

- Hsakrison, on 04/22/2009, -1/+5 We are dealing with peoples lives here, what happens if these cloned human beings are disabled for life as a consequence of the technology? Fertility doctors seem to be focused on getting a baby no matter what, as though having a baby were like a cosmetic procedure.
- zip000, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4The DNA is all fractured though...they're splicing in elephant DNA to complete it I think, but it still won't be exactly a mastodon.
- derrrface, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4Disposable humans? Oops I ran over my son, can you make me another?
- avianeddy, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4Spolier:
He IS the clone!!! - DouglasQ, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4Dugg dugg dugg!
- Nightwind, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4Not to rob you of any illusions, but the only relevant question regarding malicious and/or greedy use of a dangerous powerful technology is usually "when". Maybe "who". But never "should we"...
There is always a "good reason" to do so, and when there's money or power involved, someone is willing to help. - charlie6969, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3So Octo-Mom is just the tip of the iceberg?
oh no........ - wastelander, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3It would be one thing if human cloning were well studied safe and effective procedure; but this is far from the case. Cloning animals is still very much a hit or miss proposition and the resulting clones often have medical problems; which is why no ethical physician (at this point) would endorse human cloning. Its one thing to research human cloning--its another thing entirely to carry out human experiments in cloning. And using cow-eggs--WFT?
This is complete *****. If this guy is for real (something I doubt) his medical license needs to be revoked ASAP. - DouglasQ, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4It was a quote, and that quote never LITERALLY suggested that it all comes down to nature's 'will', it was just figurative in that they died out for a reason, as do all extinct animals, the same way all living animals survive. LAWS of nature, not conscious will.
- Akairenn, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3DUNCAN!
- atlanta911, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4By cloning individuals with desirable traits, or isolating those traits and replicating them, we would be doing the exact opposite of "polluting the gene pool."
This would also end the 'Idiocracy,' 'Darwinism is dead' arguments. - MechaMurloc, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4Imagine.... They could clone Meagan Fox, then we could all have one.
- Rousterfar, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4Because it's generally religious people who have the problem with cloning.
- mikemehak, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3what if he ***** up and baby Cady II comes out with 4 legs and a taste for grass?
- RedAbyss, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4I don't think science has ever produced a more interesting phrase: Hybrid cow-human embryos.
