On cloning:
IF Michael Jackson were to visit Clonaid... AND IF Michael Jackson has watched the "Austin Powers" Trilogy... AND IF Michael Jackson has paid his plastic surgeons to let him keep his "old" body parts after each surgery, and has thus accumulated a large library of spares... AND IF Michael Jackson is familiar with the concept of a Mr. Potato Head... Is there anything good that can possibly stem from my finishing this question? |

I believe in that Jesus fellow, but even I became enraged and shouted incoherently at the TV when the moron on CNN's Talkback live asked this question about clones: "Would it have a soul?"
Say it together with me, it's a twin. I suppose that in about 15 years time, clones will be commonplace, created by huge, faceless megacorporations. They'll be doing menial and/or dangerous tasks for us, like combat. I suppose we could limit their lifespan to 4 years as a safeguard. Some of them proabably wouldn't like the slave status they'll be given, and will revolt. We'd need an agency to spot and arrest/air-out these rogue clones. We'd need to give these cops an edgy, cool name to go with the job, something like ... Cut ... no ... Edge ... no ... I got it! Blade R -- oh, wait. Last edited by Uryoces; 01-08-2003 at 05:06 PM. |

So it... um... wouldn't have a soul, then? I got lost there.

This all looks like "Brave New World" -- with Michael Jackson "lookalikes" ruling.
But maybe it would save on plastic surgery -- I doubt a face lift would be necessary, if you could just clone a younger "you"!?! |

In fact, I thought it was hilarious.
