Re: United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning

hi there in relation to this i was wondering if the memory's or ideas of the orginal were passed down to copy
becuase if this was the case u could create a army that was imune to fear, could not be questioned and they would also serve loally for life with out the need to pay them

No, with the current technology there would be no way to 'copy' memories. Clones are more like twins who are younger - they share only the genetic makeup of their original

i believe this can be done in the future though, when scientists can alter the genetic makeup of someone-to-be. THATS NOT CLONING, though. that's just.......meddling with dna. you are going to be able to choose what kind of kid you want in the future too....

if that is the case the only good that clones are is for body parts
if that is the case then the UN should allow the clonning to begin

I think they should allow us to clone you Buffy, at least a couple hunderd times. That way we could hand one copy out to all the single fellows here at Hypography. I think that would create one very long waiting line.

If they are genetic diseases, then yes, the clone would have them.

Clones would be just a human as you or I, or any twin. They would simply have only one parent, and share their exact DNA.

Re: United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning

well its not an issue in my time. clones are all over and are a transport for humans that will soon die. all memories are transfered to the clone and they live another life term. so basically we end up immortals in a sense.

agreed

however your point is moot.

you can clone the body but the mind is a whole other story. i'd be far more interested in the mind than the body in most cases of cloning.

i'm not sure of the specific term relating to multiple parentage, but polygenesis of a creature from a few parents at once.. i wonder if that could be sorted out in the lab.

again you'd only produce a body with the combined potential of the genetics used to create it and not necessarily an amalgamation of those peoples personalities.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
