Harvard to Clone Human Embryos?
Lifix writes ""Harvard University scientists have asked the university's ethical review board for permission to produce cloned human embryos for disease research, potentially becoming the first researchers in the nation to wade into a divisive area of study that has become a presidential campaign issue."
can't they just pray to have our Lord who ar't in Heaven deliver the knowledge unto them?
Maybe if some of us took a few days off from praying for the President, and his children, and their peace of mind, and Iraq, we could pray for the researchers to happen upon a divine epiphany, and if they were good, God fearing servents of our Lord, he'd just write it on up and send it on down via an Angel.
I bet we could get that on the 700 Club!!! Think of how much money would be saved by not wasting any of it or the time on science, and better yet with the donation to the 700 Club we could feed poor kids in Africa, or by the Church a Holy 120' Conversion Vessel of The Lord, with day spa!
I for one welcome our cloned human embryo overlords...
You mean these ones?
For those of us born without evil twins, cloning is the best way to protect ourself against conviction based on DNA evidence. It musta been my clone.....
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.

I hear jesus 2.0 is gonna fix alot of the problems, instead of dying for our sins again he's gonna tell us all to stfu and stop sinning.
He's gonna be a martian though, so again the jews will get all pissy and throw stones.
I'll tell you what happens!
We will engineer super intelligent beings that have giant heads and perfect vision in all light spectrums. The human race will eventually evolve (die out) into this new race only to find out that genetic mutations will kill off their existence! So they develop means to travel back in time and kidnap goatse.cx guy so they can anal probe him!
The reasoning for the anal probe is obvious: It's so the future big-headed, grey-skinned, lanky humans can figure out how not to die. Don't feel sorry for goatse.cx guy either, not only has he secured the existence of the future human race; he became famous from his after-probing disorder.
It's so obvious
pfft
time is a perception of a being's consciousness
time is your 6th sense, the wierd ones are 7+
My point is that as long as we keep the clones somewhat small - say less than 1024 cells
Sure, they will be marketed as kilocells but when the marketing folks get their grubby hands on them we will only get 1000!!
Harvard is clearly trying to identify the '1600' gene to create an army of superundergrads.
"My point is that as long as we keep the clones somewhat small - say less than 1024 cells"
640 cells should be enough for anyone...
