Slashdot Mirror

Soon after [the cloning of Dolly the sheep], the Pope felt obliged to proclaim himself as being against cloning. Ironically, he was unaware that by saying this he was also arguing against the resurrection of Christ, since the Elohim used cloning to resurrect Jesus (see The Message Given By Extra-Terrestrials).

Priceless.

In 1974, I released The Book Which Tells The Truth, which described my contact with the Elohim, the extra-terrestrials who created us scientifically in their laboratories, and who were mistaken for 'God' or 'gods' by our primitive ancestors, who were too ignorant to understand the truth. At the time, it was the public's enthusiasm for the 'UFO phenomenon' that made my books and the conferences I held around the world a success.

Nevertheless, when I explained that we would soon be able to do the same thing ourselves and live forever, thanks to cloning, many laughed. However, their laughter was tinged with the empty sound of those who have always been too shortsighted to see beyond their noses and foresee the fall of their own paradigms.

Which website will you pick to clone you? I think I'm going for the one that gave me some propaganda on a religion surrounding the Elohim. Sounds like they know what they're up to. Or maybe you've got advanced AIDS (one of the many treatable conditions which conveniently have no other cures) How does it work? Well, they just shoot you up with a bunch of stem cells. No, I'm serious:

Stem Cell Therapy, SCT, is a treatment that provides stem cells in the appropriate location to assist the body where it needs to heal and regenerate its existing cells.
Depending on the conditions, stem cells can be delivered through the blood stream or directly to the organ to treat. It isn’t understood yet how stem cell communicates with the body to determine and travel to sites of need but results have been observed showing stem cells located near the damage area and dividing there generating new differentiated healthy cells.

It's a process which many leading scientists suspect might be a miracle! And you know, if it doesn't work, you just didn't present the stem cells the right conditions and we just need you to pay for a trip back and more saline ... er therapy injections. Maybe you have a supressive person in your life who has been telling you that we are a scam and that's why the stem cell therapy didn't work? Anyone else reminded of Professor Farnsworth's trip to GeneWorks S.K.G. from Three Hundred Big Boys?

what's the big deal!?

Here's another website by GSC's CEO Lou Hawthorne, called Hell's Buddhas. Another, more prominent- if not more skeptical- group is the Raelian Clonaid project. As Christians are often called to task for mixing religion and [job, politics, etc.], I find it interesting how the religious motivations of some of these groups make it under the radar.

Whether or not the vehicle "made the grade" so to speak, will be verified by independent methods, said X Prize Foundation head, Peter Diamandis, in a pre-flight interview with SPACE.com.

At least three independent methods, two radar tracking systems, and an onboard "gold box" will be utilized to verify flight conditions of SpaceShipOne as it makes its suborbital trek, Diamandis said.

These guys are hilarious. My favorite thing is the "Embryonic cell fusion redefined: The new RMX2010". It doesn't do anything special, but costs nearly $10,000. My question is, though, if they don't have any employees, they certainly have been productive with this machine, the website, and press coverage, releases, etc.

Heh, heh...

Rosen is a lesbian, how the hell did she manage to come up with a kid?

Been living under a rock?

Easy!

The very thought makes me shudder and think of Gregory Peck.

or even weeks straight of front-page news in major media about some wacky UFO cult's latest attention-getting stunt?

oh, wait... nevermind...

Anyway, I'm not sure to be right, so here is my gzipped txt lossy compression method:
I use a proprietary tool (my eyes) to read the pr0n stream which passes on video. Another proprietary tool (my hands) writes down (in emacs) what my eyes see. Then gzip does the trick.

Even this method doesn't achieve perfect results, but at least it's an open standard. The fact that I'm using proprietary tools doesn't change the situation. At least, anyone could produce tools which do a better job for free.

Here's a guy who doesn't want a tinfoil hat. Straigt from the "Communicating with aliens for fun and profit" dept.:

According to my local newspaper, Rael's weird hairdo is supposed to enhance communication with the aliens from the Elohim race. Come to think of it, the little stub on his head has more than a passing resemblance to the GSM antenna on my car roof, hmmm....

I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to laugh or cry about this guy and his followers ("sweeping the world with the most politically incorrect and fearlessly individualistic philosophy of non-confirmism").

The work is being undertaken by the Raelian-backed Bahamas-based Clonaid company, which is charging a few hundred thousand dollars. Clonaid says that if it's successful, they intend to make it a business. Some independent scientists who have examined the Clonaid methodology say that it will "probably" work.

Cloning a dead adult is not the same as bringing the adult back to life, because the clone would not have the dead person's memories. But cloning an infant seems different. Clonaid actually refers to their work as "bringing back to life a 10-month old child". (Even a new-born infant has some memories from its mother's womb, though--as well as some affects from the womb environment.)

The London Sunday Times has the story. Brave New World, here we come!

Well it is cheaper then the 200 000$ Clonaid is asking for to clone you. Personally I would not mind getting cloned into a new younger me when i'll nbe old enough to use viagra.

Just for the record, Clonaid is owned by Rael the guy who say aliens created us all. They even have a replica at UFO Land of the spacecraft that took this local guru to the Alien planet.

Hehe, their funny but Clonaid seems real though.
