If you could clone just one thing, animal, insect, human, etc.

[Chuckup]

what would you have cloned?

My dog from 28 years ago, "Whiskers"

[Booberdawg]

1. My son

:bounce:

[xchrom]

10. ditto on the dog thing

[SOteric]

2. No individual beings that I love, that's for sure

I've read some things of late that indicate cloned critters are in no way replicas of the cell donor. The evince different colouring, differing personalities, different tastes and preferences.

I've been deeply hurt by the loss of people close to me in my life, but there's something very wrong to my mind in creating or even attempting to create a being as a 'replacement,' a kind of placebo.

Letting go is bitter and excrutiating, ethereal and transcendent in it's beauty; it's also a part of life.

If I were to clone anything it would have to be some aspect of the global food supply. Rice, perhaps or hard-white winter wheat.

4. I'm on your side when it

comes to cloning humans...
Food stuffs is a great idea if it worked.

[gkdmaths]

9. AAAK! "global" food supply...shudder.

what a GREAT idea! but make it the local food supply rather than global. clone the needed food throughout the globe's network of local food supplies! yours would be the gift that truly keeps on giving - great idea! :thumbsup:

[gkdmaths]

3. Passenger Pigeon,

some cool, old Odonata. Perhaps I will wait untill I am eighty or so, and in the meantime I will collect DNA from the living species that are presently near extinction. THEN, I would clone them.

no, I'd clone Jack Daniels first. :D

[Dookus]

5. A woolly mammoth

and I would feed him and walk him and love him and call him George.

[Chuckup]

6. Actually, some country is doing that one

It was in the news last week, they plan to bring it back!

[Chuckup]

8. Japanese Scientists Begin Work on Possible Mammoth Clone

Japanese scientists are starting work on prehistoric DNA samples for what may become an attempt to clone a woolly mammoth.

Scientists in Japan are hopeful the long extinct woolly mammoth, a relative of today's elephant, may return to roam the earth once again. Geneticists from several different Japanese universities have started to analyze tissue samples taken from a 20,000-year-old woolly mammoth carcass unearthed in the frozen Siberian tundra last August.
It may take years to bring the prehistoric beast to life through cloning - if it is possible at all. But the time factor and the uncertainty of success have not deterred the enthusiasm of one scientist who spoke to VOA on Wednesday.

19. Whoohoo!

I call dibs on the mammoth!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

7. My brain and I'd give it to a few citizens to divvy up according to need

[Booberdawg]

13. Let's clone ALL of you NSMA!

Man, with more of you we could really kick some BUTT!
:D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. But the cost of all the additional car hoods alone would be insurmountable

[Booberdawg]

21. NOT!

Small price to pay for more intelligent and hard working people willing to put their money where their mouth is.

You need a car hood break then so be it. :thumbsup:

[SOteric]

15. We could just give it to Dubya...

His doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Wouldn't that be great...? Even if his evil henchmen wreck all manner of havoc and subvert Democracy to get him re-established in the White House, it would do them no good. 'Cause one day, he'd just wake up with a copy of your brain in his head and be possessed of good Democratic sense... As well as an urge to houndawg after pretty girls and boink on the hood of his car.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. LOL. This is your brain

this is your brain on the hood of my car *snicker*

[A-Schwarzenegger]

11. My own haughty yet amiable

buttocks.

[witchbitch]

12. Samuel L. Jackson

droooooooolllll......

[Breezy du Nord]

14. The hottie I met in Mexico

[Kamika]

17. deforrest kelly

[SiobhanClancy]

20. Key Lime Pie

[THUNDER HANDS]

22. I'm suprised nobody said it so far...

A YAK!

duh

:evilgrin:

[oustemnow]

23. Salma Hayek

jeez, what the hell is wrong with you people?

[ForrestGump]

28. I can see it how

(to be viewed to the tune of the Jan and Dean classic, "Surf City" - two girls for every boyyyyyyy)

[oustemnow]

29. double your pleasure, indeed

okay, I may not be posting for a little while, as I'll likely be enervated from furiously masturbating....

[BritishHuman]

30. If I cross my eyes...

I can get a 3D Salma! Woohoo!

And a headache. Ow.

[ForrestGump]

31. Careful!

You might stay that way permanently!

The power of Salma knows no bounds.

[Shanty Oilish]

24. My firstborn

You know the parent's curse: I hope someday you have a child just like yourself.
Well, I can't wait any longer.

[SayitAintSo]

25. All my animals .... Especially my sweet Simon ....

A male sheltie I lost several years ago. Thought I would never get over losing him ....

[Gato Moteado]

26. five michael jordans...

and then i'd own the greatest nba franchise in history.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

27. My kitties

Lulu (RIP 8/29/2000). She had the best disposition of any cat I've ever met (and was frighteningly smart).
My current cats, Reno and Noah, are great felines too!
