Just seen a advert on tv about some Americans cloning there pets if you had a choice would you bring back any dogs that are dead

its not bringing back your dead dogs though its bringing a dog back that looks exactly like your dog but will most probably have a completely different mindset

no its wrong imo.there just some things that we shouldnt be f***ing with.im not a religious person at all. but we can get to clever.

I agree. They might be able to get a dog with the same build, colour and markings, but it won't know you, it won't have had the same experiences as the other dog, so it will just be a different dog that looks the same.

i know they did it with a barrel racing horse, was the world champion but he was a rescue horse and had had the snip or just fired blanks, anyway the owner could earn a fortune from breeding him so instead she cloned him, meaning the offspring would be 100% genetically matched then used that horse for a stud, even though it didnt have the same abilities as its dad

would like to see it done with mammoths, imagine if it came cheap the dog world would be flooded with dog blood lines from the peddlers 1 dig wonder

The thing is this kind of research is leading to cell rejuvenation, if your 60 yr old cells can re-generate to that of a 21 yr old getting old will be a thing of the past. The possibilities are endless.

You've all seen how the film Jurassic Park ended up f**k that

They want to ask the lobster a few questions on that.. Barring illness, injury or ending up on a plate with a nice sauce, those things have the potential to be biologically immortal!

then that leads to a load of people refusing to die, meaning the world gets overpopulated. food and energy shortages and worldwide unrest. then there are the ethics of it, is it fair rich people can afford it but not deserve it, but poorer families who deserve it carnt? answer NO

plus one from me malt. a professor was giving a talk about human cloning about 10 years ago and he was saying then, cell rejuvenation to this level isn't too far away.

Not so, this kind of technology can be used for us to colonise other planets, look at what they're doing with nanobots, diseases and a virus can then be killed with a simple injection all suited to kill whatever foreign body has invaded .

if you clone a plant that means you have no diversity so if a virus or disease destroys that plant it means the entire crop can be affected. cloning just leads to small gene pools meaning if a disease does spread to human and plant cells it can wipe all the cloned cells out.

Have you noticed how many leylandii trees there are about the place? Every single one of them in the world is cloned from a small group of about 20 hybrid trees..

I support the science but it's moving further and further away from nature, evolution and natural selection............... that I'm uncomfortable with! For lack of a better expression, 'we're playing god'. Mother nature has no malice or agenda, just a simple set of rules that are applied across the board. If we completely leave the natural way and dictate our own evolution, do we really trust the person making the decisions?

 

The science is interesting but the philisophical implications are greater imo.
