and so it begins...cloning goes comercial

[jverne]

well i'm not sure if this is the first official try in commercialization, but interesting nonetheless

Company offers to clone dogs for 5 highest bidders

Opening bids start at $100,000 for the service being offered by Mill Valley-based BioArts International. The cloning process is to be performed by a South Korean scientist who suffered international disgrace after being found to have faked research.

could be a scam

Hope it's not a scam...sounds awfully a lot like the 6th day

RePet? Scam.

47, your next target is in Northern California. Our client wants any commerical cloning development erased completely from the map...

 

[Azner]

Clone the dog, kill it. Take its organs, sell em.

You can't clone a soul. And this will anger god.

 

[Avoidist]

And this will anger god.

WHERE IS YOUR DOG NOW?!?

It's been done commercially already. Thing is it wasn't very popular (this probably won't be either) and it was expensive like ****. The company I'm referring to gave it up (permanently or not I do not recall).

Yes, do this when there are already enough homeless pets out there with no homes.

It's funny to think that an animal requires a human built housing structure to survive, but this may be true in some ways, due to all of our breeding tampering.


ITT show winning dogs will be the only subjects.

they should really clone things that are going extinct. that might be a god idea.

That Korean scientist is a dickwad.

There's a big difference between movie cloning like in "the sixth day" and real life cloning. For instance there is currently no way to duplicate the original's personality memory etc., and there is no way to make a full adult clone. So a real clone would be born and eventually grow up to look like the original but with it's own memories and personality. So what would be the point to make a clone beside to use it for spare parts like in the movie "the island"?

 

[Slug Advisor]

Where is your clone now?

 

[FishBulb]

I will wait for you...

If there was such a thing as an anti-ban, you'd get it.

 

[Avoidist]

If there was such a thing as an anti-ban, you'd get it.

Glad to hear it.

I'm guessing when a ban and an anti-ban collide, they cancel each other out, and then pesh falls out to conserve energy?

 

[Sulkdodds]

It's a bit more complicated than that, but you have the gist of it.

 

[elkaebee]

B+(-B)=E x B2

B=Ban
-B=Antiban
E=Energy
