UJ: cloning

So...the news story broke yesterday that there was the first human clone.

Ok, that is just creepy...for a few reasons. One, cloning a human being...I wanted to be pro-science, but it just seems so wrong to me. I mean, there is a woman out there (if this is true) who just had a baby who is has the same genetic that she does. She will look just like her....now come on, isn't that creepy? I mean...imagine the implications. If this becomes standard than parents will have DNA frozen when they have their children and if by chance...something tragic happens or even if their children don't turn out as they planned, they can just implant that DNA into another embryo and have a whole new chance at raising that child. It's creepy....it's slimy...it just seems immoral to me. Well....my son turned out to be a murder, hmm...let's just have him born again and re-try. hmmpf....don't like that at all!

And...from all the other cloning research, they have been a high number of deformities. One of the sheeps which was cloned has been aging more rapidly than it is supposed to. And there have been a lot of problems with the cows.....missing limbs, etc. Obviously, it is not a perfect science, but yeah....let's just play around with it and play around with people's hope. *grumbles*

And my final complaint....is the group who did the cloning. I thought it must be a joke...but nope, the group who cloned them is called Clonaid and are a part of the Raelians cult. Yep...a cult who believes that life on earth was created by alien life form. hmm...say wha??? So...the crazy cult people have told us that they made a human clone. Now...this is just too much.

I just saw one of the Raelian scientists....Brigitte Boisselier....who talked all about proof and science concerning the cloned baby. Umm...ok, can you show me the proof and science that supports that human life was created by aliens?

*shakes head in disbelievement* These seems like a cheesy premise to an 80s movie....not something that is real. hmmpf....
