  1. Re:Star cloning controversy on Mouse Cloned From Drop of Blood · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What do you with the kid if Hitler is cloned?

    Nothing. Apart from looking like the original, he'll be raised differently by different people in a different environment and so he won't be the same person. A clone is just a biological copy, not a psychological one.

    Does Mr. Pitt owe child support to any of his clones? Or does Brad Pitt's father owe child support to the clones?

    No and no.

    It's not even valid questions, you'd need incredibly twisted logic and totally ass-backward laws to support these ideas.

  9. Re:Rabbit eye on Eye Surgery By Magnetically Guided Microbots Moves Toward Clinical Trials · · Score: 1

    Yep, as soon as I read "mobility experiments were conducted in which a microrobot with a diameter of 285 m (about four times the width of a hair) was navigated reliably through the eye of a rabbit", I thought of that movie.
