Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: DMcG Date: 02 Apr 02 - 11:29 AM Being cloned is one thing, but what about the language? Do you think I/you/he will cope, or will we need an extra persons in conjugating verbs? From:
I we to:
I we (none-specific)
he/she (not clone) they (not clones)
And what happens to the verbs themselves? No, its all too terrifying complicated - lets just ban clones instead! |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 02 Apr 02 - 12:34 PM I asked Spaw for the money to pay for the procedure but he refused. I guess I will have to depend on reincarnation (probably come back as Mehitabel the Cat or Archie the Cockroach). |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 02 Apr 02 - 01:00 PM And they'll clone you cos you are the Great Dictator, and they'll clone you so they have another one for later, and they'll clone you cos you're big and getting bigger, and they'll clone you, cos you're Arnold Schwarzegger. But I would not feel so all alone - everybody must get cloned.
And they'll clone you cos you are as rich as Croesus, |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 02 Apr 02 - 01:00 PM And they'll clone you cos you've got such funny eyes. And they'll clone you so they get the Nobel Prize. And they'll clone you for a weapon or a slave, and they'll clone you as they drag you from the grave. But I would not feel so all alone - everybody must get cloned.
And they'll clone you cos they like your woolly hair, |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 02 Apr 02 - 01:39 PM I want to be in that great number, When the clones come marchin' in. Just a thought- How will St. Peter deal with the "extras" that come to the pearly gates? What if a clone of a dastardly dictator has a clone who is a "good" person? Decisions! Decisions! Excellent, McGrath! |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Ebbie Date: 02 Apr 02 - 06:21 PM Have you thought about the fact that in all likelihood you wouldn't recognize yourself? We see ourselves in the mirror, which is very different from how others see us. But if people keep telling you there's someone you just *have* to meet because you look so much alike, pay heed. Seriously, I'd like to know MUCH more about the limited number of 'molds' in use in the human race. There are some distinctive types that fit half a dozen people I know- and there are others that remind me of no one I've ever seen. Who is keeping track of all this?? Ebbie |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 02 Apr 02 - 06:30 PM My parents could not conceive.
My brother was birthed in 46.
I was bourne in 52.
We were BOTH products of modern science over 50 years ago. Thankfully, they told us. It is unfortunate for those who go through life without the knowledge of their conception. It took off the confusion, of wether we had that awful stigma, of "being adopted." Because we were wanted and "not discards" we were accepted by ourselves and our peers.
After "the pressure was off" our parents conceived a child, another son, through natural processes.

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: artbrooks Date: 02 Apr 02 - 07:17 PM I'd be glad to be cloned, with the following conditions: Replacement must weigh no more than 200 pounds Replacement must have a full head of hair, preferably not grey Replacement must be able to sing and play at least one musical instrument other than the bodhran Process must come with a GUARANTEED brain and/or memory transplant On second thought, herself wouldn't recognize me with such significant changes. Guess I'll stick with what I have. |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Chip2447 Date: 03 Apr 02 - 01:08 PM My memories transferred to a younger me...no more aches and pains, more time to accomplish the things that I would like, now that I sorta know what they are. I promise to take better care of the new body than I did of this one, knock wood with crossed fingers. Sounds like fun....sign me up. Chip2447 |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 03 Apr 02 - 02:33 PM I can't see where the fun would come comes in having some younger better looking bloke wandering about who looks like I maybe once did. There's enough of them in any case. Can't stand them... |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Catherine Jayne Date: 04 Apr 02 - 10:25 AM I'm sure many would agree that one each of me and Jez is ENOUGH and is FAR TOO MANY TO START WITH!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 12:00 PM Hold on thar, Chip2447: I don't think you can clone memories! More likely, the current you would try to tell the cloned you what to accomplish and how to take care of yourself. My question is, knowing yourself as you do, would you listen to your pre-cloned self any better than your pre-cloned self listened to your parents or to medical research about good-health habits? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Apr 02 - 01:15 PM Ahah! I detect a genetic flaw in that last clone's signature... I knew it was a very bad idea.

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: annamill Date: 04 Apr 02 - 01:17 PM Wow! Could I go lay on a warm beach and not have to worry about ANYTHING because the other me would be handling it?? ..i'd give her a break sometime,...maybe...NAH!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Little Hawk Date: 04 Apr 02 - 01:35 PM Bulletin: Neither Annamill reported for work today, and there's a big row down at the beach... I think we should clone Dubya several times. Two heads are better than one, three even better yet, think what five could do! It would help him to figure out those tricky foreign policy situations, like how to tell evil terrorists with guns & bombs from noble counter-terrorists with guns, bombs, jets, and tanks...and how to distinguish collateral damage from crimes against humanity. He could also give live speeches in several different locations simultaneously, which would be a great morale booster. Plus...it would present potential foreign terrorist assassins with a wellnigh insoluble problem, and secure the presidency beyond harm for the next 8 years at least. - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 04 Apr 02 - 01:47 PM SharonA raised a point. Would a manual have to come with each clone giving past memories of the original? Would bad memories be censored out? What other personal information should a clone have in order to integrate? |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:32 PM Oh, good lord, Little Hawk! Can you imagine ALL those clones running for President? Heck, he could clone his own majority of voters! (No, wait, he'd just have to clone brother Jeb 49 times so that the Jebs could be governors of all the states): George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, 2001-2005 George W. Bush (clone #1), 44th President of the United States and Afghanistan, 2005-2009 George W. Bush (clone #2), 45th President of the United States, Afghanistan and Palestisrael, 2009-2013 George W. Bush (clone #3), 46th President of the United States, Afghanipakistan, Palestisrael and Iraniraq, 2013-2017 George W. Bush (clone #4), 47th President of the United States, the EU, the MEU (Middle Eastern Union) and the FEU (Far Eastern Union) after World War III, 2017-2021 George W. Bush (clone #5), 1st President of Texas (after World War IV), 2021-2025 |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Chip2447 Date: 04 Apr 02 - 02:47 PM SharonA, I had kinda hoped that a free brain transplant was included, that way I would still be me. Old brain complete with memories and skills in a younger body. Chip2447 |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: Don Firth Date: 04 Apr 02 - 04:54 PM A fellow had so much work to do he had himself cloned. The clone was a nearly perfect copy and could definitely cut the original's work in half, but apparently a glitch had happened in the process, because there was a flaw. Whereas the original was always polite and courteous, the clone was incredibly foul-mouthed. This proved highly embarrassing to the original, and although he confronted his clone about this many times, it didn't help. The clone's vocabulary only got worse, and he seemed to be dead-set on embarrassing the original at every opportunity. Finally, the original couldn't take it any more and in a fit a anger, he pushed his clone out an open window to fall to the street some forty stories below. There were witnesses, and the man was arrested and charged with murder. But—there was no record of the clone's existence. All the prosecution had was the corpse of a man who was obviously still alive. They couldn't even charge him with suicide, because he was still alive!! What to do? Although the prosecutor couldn't really prove murder, he was determined that the man should face some kind of punishment. Then he had an inspiration. He got the man on a morals charge. There were many witnesses to the fact that the man had made an obscene clone fall. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Have you been cloned From: SharonA Date: 04 Apr 02 - 05:03 PM Chip: Ah, yes, the premise of the old Twilight Zone episode. Season 3, number 96: "The Trade-Ins" (First Aired: 4/20/62). The dilemma there was that the elderly couple could only afford one younger body, so they decided that the man should go first since he was in worse health, and that he would then work to pay for the woman's new body. Once he was transferred into his new Jack LaLanne physique, however, he discovered he preferred to grow old along with his wife, rather than to be young without her. The moral (updated for the 21st century): If you have a significant other, make sure (s)he gets cloned too! |
