gooo cloning

[Thorn Bird]

so about cloning...do you really think that cloning would provide EXACTLY the same person? i have yet to know how i feel about cloning, but right now, i don't see how exacting genes would exact someone's soul (yes i believe in it,) or personality or anything that has yet to be nailed down by science.

what're your thoughts?

 

[DoubleJ]

Physically, yes. Mentally, no

 

[theacoustician]

No, cloning does not make you the same person. There's more than just DNA to copy. Proven fact.

this. very much this, without diatribing with a holy lack of "bedside manner"

 

[zengirl]

Well aren't twins exact copies of the same thing?

Environment, habits, experiences - all these things create variations.

environmental stimuli drive the greatest amount of variation in gene expression.

I was watching Suze Orman last week and this guy wanted to clone his dog for 100k. The service was out there.

saw a story on headline last summer where some woman actually had it done

Right. Cloning will only create a genetic copy. The life experiences cannot be replicated.

Super religious morons who think god wants people dead because of a lack of advanced medical treatment.

Super religious morons who think god wants people dead because of a lack of advanced medical treatment.

the only ones i have any respect for are those who actually refuse treatment when it is against their religion. all the hypocrites can suck eggs.

Super religious morons who think god wants people dead because of a lack of advanced medical treatment.

or because labs have been trying to come up with better methods for blood cord and other stem cell research and stem cell therapy to get around the lack of government funding for embryonic stem cell research
