So, I was watching the News last night and apparently, the FDA has now approved the sale and consumption of cloned meat! (with the exception of sheep (?)
My first thought was "Hmmmm?"
My second thought was, When did we get to this point?
Wasn't it just a few years ago that we cloned Dolly the Sheep? Doesn't it always make the news when an animal is successfully cloned? Apparently not because according to the news report, there are currently over 600 (known) cloned animals in existence in the United States
Seriously!?!?
They even interviewed a researched scientist who has been working on/with cloned animals for the past 10 years... 10 YEARS?
So I guess that being able to clone a living creature is not news anymore... only whether or not we can eat them!
I guess it's only a matter of time before a human being is successfully cloned (if it hasn't happened already) which begs the question... would you clone yourself if you were able to? I'm not sure myself. On one hand, it would be a fabulous resource for a new liver and lungs when my give out but on the other hand, , on the other hand... Wow. I can't think of a single reason why i wouldn't clone myself. Guess i'm feeling a little conceited this morning!

See here is the possible flaw in you spare parts double. What if he wants to smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish then you would have to make more.
Clone rights! The future civil rights movement.
I wanna clone myself. I've always wondered what it would be like to have sex with me. I bet it's fanTASTIC!!
Plus, if you cloned right now, they would still be damaged from your upteen hundred years of wear and tear. Shoulda cloned yourself when you were a baby...before the years of smoking, drinking, and biscuits and gravy set in ;)
