Cloning License for Dolly's Doc

Rollie Hawk writes "Ian Wilmut, leader of Dolly the sheep's team and Professor at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, has been given the green light by the British government's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to start further cloning research. As a matter of fact, he is now a licensed human cloner. The license has a duration of one year and is the second of its kind given by Britain, the first country to officially sanction human cloning research. Research will be focusing on motor neurone disease (MND). The team hopes to perform cell nuclear replacement on the skin cells of MND victims in order to create stem cells, the jack-of-all-trades of the cell family and the supposed magic bullets for ailments ranging from Alzheimer's to paralysis.

should I write a novel?

[CrazyJim1]

I was thinking of making a novel called Human Farm In it, they clone people to do brain transplants. The first batch doesn't have muscle development because they grew them without true lifelike interactions. This spawns a sicklike monster of a person who had to be emergency transplanted to save their life. The next batch is grown up with the help of a nanny in a secure environment. Later the nanny learns of the sick proceedure, so the third batch she trains them to be sick martial arts trainers who are highly moral, also in the third batch, they decide to transplant the young ones into the old bodies so they can get some extra work out of them. One of the young ones gets transplanted to an old person before the plot to rebel happens. So later the old guy has to kill his young self to prevent something serious from happening, forever dooming himself to the old body. Lots of plot twists and a demonization of old people trying to extend their life through use of young people's lives. Properly written it could be good, but I doubt my writing skills, and I don't know if I want to pollute the culture with some of my warped ideas.
