Today in science - the clonus horror

Heard this on the way back to the office.

Attack of the clones, here we come

1. Scientists say they've peeked into the 'black box' of early human development

Human cells used to make structures that mimic the earliest stages of development could pave the way for more research without running afoul of restrictions on using real embryos.



2. Scientists Grow Mouse Embryos in a Mechanical Womb

Biologists have long held that a fetus needs a living uterus to develop. Maybe not anymore.

Put these two together and we may be able to see people grown in vats.

Just let your clone take over at the office, while you stay at home and do whatever you do.

The Inalienable Rights scene from "Monty Python's Life of Brian"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A huge Roman amphitheater, sparsely attended. REG, FRANCIS, STAN and JUDITH
are seated in the stands. They speak conspiratorially.)

Judith: Any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must *reflect* such a
divergence of interests within its power-base.
Reg: Agreed.
(General nodding.)
Francis?
Francis: I think Judith's point of view is valid here, Reg, provided the
Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every
man--
Stan: Or woman.
Francis: Or woman...to rid himself--
Stan: Or herself.
Reg: Or herself. Agreed. Thank you, brother.
Stan: Or sister.
Francis: Thank you, brother. Or sister. Where was I?
Reg: I thought you'd finished.
Francis: Oh, did I? Right.
Reg: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man ...
Stan: Or woman.
Reg: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan, you're putting us off.
Stan: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
Francis: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
Stan: (pause) I want to be one.

(pregnant pause)

Reg: What?
Stan: I want to be a woman. From now on I want you all to call me Loretta.
Reg: What!?
Stan: It's my right as a man.
Judith: Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
Stan: I want to have babies.
Reg: You want to have babies?!?!?!
Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But you can't have babies.
Stan: Don't you oppress me.
Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan -- you haven't got a womb. Where's the
fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
(Stan starts crying.)
Judith: Here! I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually
have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the
Romans', but that he can have the *right* to have babies.
Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to
have babies, brother. Sister, sorry.
Reg: (pissed) What's the *point*?
Francis: What?
Reg: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he
can't have babies?
Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg: It's symbolic of his struggle against reality.

Amazing stuff.

Life and the development of another human from just 1 man, and 1 woman is a miracle. No other imagined gender combinations work.

Unfortunate that there are factions trying to push the termination of life so late in pregnancy and to allow on demand termination at birth.

^^ Rutger Hauer sailed a big Irwin ketch out of Marina Del Rey. Used to see him heading out on Sundays, spoke to him, wheel to wheel, a couple times, as we were side by side heading for the breakwater in main channel. Good-humored guy.

So when your clone wants to take a day off from the office and decides to clone himself....I've seen this movie...the clone of the clone isn't quite all there.
