First cloned human baby has been born...

[Guest DrTom]

Jingus...Tom. Hope you remember to bring to sunblock because you've got a one way ticket to Satan's Pad.

The company's much better down there, I reckon. Come on, which do you think would be more interesting: lunch with Genghis Khan or lunch with Gandhi?

 

Besides, I didn't go the money shot route, though I thought about it. Even I have my limits.

Hey, he said it, not me. I just pointed out one possible interpretation for his statement.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Given that he was always preachin' lovin' your brother and shit, I suspect Jesus may've been gay. If he were cloned, would the clone be gay?

Hey listen Jesus wasn't afraid to open a can of whoop ass, like in the town village where he smashed the table. The guy also had groupies like Mary Magdalen, but being the son of god prevents you from acting on your human desires.

Well, here's the repercussions of all this stuff:

 

Congress is making the Biggest Knee-Jerk Reaction of All Time and quickly going about how to form laws and whatnot regarding clones.

 

Hooray for hastily banged-out laws that may fuck over people coming up with legitimately useful reasons for genetic research.

[Guest Renegade]

If this is a legitimate claim that they have cloned someone, the fact that they have announced it means that there have been many other clones as well.

 

As for the clone and any future ones…it sucks to be them.

Well that would all relate to another question, is homosexuality genetic or not? Hypothetically speaking, if Jesus did return, don't you think that scientists and political leaders would hunt him down, capture him and do a multitude of experiments on him. Kind of like in the movies when an alien or some other good natured creature comes to Earth, people get greedy and turn him into a little white rat to be prodded for the rest of his sorry life. Of course the inevitable, and most interesting procedure would be to kill Jesus again and see if they could ressurect him. As for hell vs. heaven, I've always said that heaven seems like a boring place. Tom brings up a good point though, would you rather spend an eternity with interesting bad asses or people who followed the rules for their whole life.

When it comes to cloning though, I don't see what the big deal is. The clone isn't actually going to be completely identical (inside and outside) to the original. It will all come down to the environment in which it is raised vs. the environment that the original is raised. Odds are that by the time the clone is 20 he would barely be anything like the original. Now I still don't see the point in cloning whole humans because it would be a huge waste of money. If someone really wanted a baby and wanted to genetically alter it, then they could go down to a sperm bank and chose the sperm they want. They could do the same with the egg, throw the two in a petry dish and see what happens. Of of course they could also use AI. The only perk of cloning would be to clone limbs and organs which could be used to save lives. Now that may also be costly, but it would be more practical than cloning a whole person.
