Title: Why are we cloaning these things?
Post by: videoholic on February 15, 2002, 06:41:20 AM: Seems that we kill enough unwanted cats as it is. Why do we need to clone them?

for people that want cats but cant stand the pheramones they give off

"Anti-allergic" cats would be cool, I hope they do the same for dogs.

Post by: mm on February 15, 2002, 08:06:32 AM: im sure they will

but it will be for the elite only at the beginning

who really wants to pay 100\'s of dollars for a cat?

Post by: Solid Snake 88 on February 15, 2002, 08:07:21 AM: Don\'t you think making "anti-allergic" cats is going a bit too far? I mean, its not just cloning, its like making a whole new species, then releasing it to the public.

Post by: project86 on February 15, 2002, 08:11:15 AM: I think your right about them being for the elite at first. But I gotta say it would be pretty cool to get a good dog and not have the wife complaining about how the darn thing makes her allergies act up every time it walks into the room.:)

Post by: kirath on February 15, 2002, 08:47:46 AM: They should be cloning Monkeys.. So we can have some more MMs running around... or a clyde even...:bounce:

Post by: juslight on February 15, 2002, 10:45:10 AM: Maybe they\'ll clone a cat that has a less flexible spine so it can\'t reach to lick it\'s own ASS all day!!!

come on people.. morphing cats is a BAD idea and i know theyll get out of hand...

Post by: project86 on February 15, 2002, 12:15:44 PM: They should have stuck to cloning sheep; at least they are good for something....

Now where did I put those galoshes and my button fly jeans...

Post by: jm on February 15, 2002, 01:41:51 PM: They still have a long way to go in cloning. By that I hear, the technology is going to be licenced to anyone who was the $$$ to put it to good use.

Did you notice the fur of both of those? Rainbow\'s differs from cc aka CopyCat.

Genetics, it\'s such a complex topic. You\'ll never really get a excat copy of a certain thing. Same genetic information, but the embryo is subjected to different environment conditions. Such, if it recieved different nutrients during growth, the outcome will be different. In this case, the fur.

But I must admitt, very impressive asexual reproduction expirement. Did you know out of 87 attemtps, only one died?

It\'s always been my dream to have a cloned p*ssy! I\'ll install it on hy hand and will never have to leave the house again! :laughing:

Post by: Samwise on February 16, 2002, 01:30:13 AM: Great, due to medial advances and more clean areas, weaker people can live longer and thus passing on their weaker genes - therefore making a lot of people allergic. The solution? Let\'s juts change the whole world around us so it doesn\'t matter anymore. :rolleyes: (lol, I realise this sounds elitist or something, but trust me... I\'m not l337 ;)).

Note: I know it sounds harsh, but that\'s the way it is - people get allergic because they don\'t get subjected to dirt, new diseases etc. We\'re getting too clean for our own good. :(

*rolls in a pile of mud*

:D

Post by: Disc 2 on February 16, 2002, 03:54:47 AM: food is genetically modified all the time to be bigger and better, the next logical step is animals. Cows that have more meat on them, designer dogs for the rich, blue sheep for...because that would be cool.

I\'m not saying it\'s morally right, but it\'s going to happen

Post by: videoholic on February 16, 2002, 05:14:01 AM: Will the blue sheep have blue balls? If so he will never procreate.
Title: Why are we cloaning these things?
Post by: Disc 2 on February 16, 2002, 11:45:40 AM: no, as far as I\'m aware scientists havn\'t found the gene that affect ball colour, so he will have normal sheep coloured balls. Not that I know what colour that is of course...errr...

Post by: Delphian on February 17, 2002, 09:32:10 AM: Cloning is utterly immoral and useless for anything beyond organ cloning. I don\'t like the direction this crap is going in. The governments of the world need to start getting off their collective butts, and begin banning this sh!t.

Post by: EmperorRob on February 17, 2002, 02:30:34 PM: Has anyone cloned just a penis? I wonder if they could genetically engineer one with legs and one that talks. That would be a fun pet.
