I've read somewhere that clones are aging much faster than normal.

Would that explain why Bush has the body of a 50+ year old, but the mind of a 12 year old.

But then again, we are about to kick-off Gulf Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

Would ya believe it!?

Man, you guys missed the most important part of that story...

"Other groups are reported to be trying to create baby clones.

One such organisation is called Clonaid. Its parent body is a religious movement known as the Raelians, which believes that humans are the result of a genetic engineering project run by super intelligent extra-terrestrials."

LOL!

Unless one is coerced to pay for it, why would one ever care? If one is so coerced (by opressive collectivist/socialist government), that would be better cause for concern.

SOB: "... Clonaid. Its parent body is a religious movement known as the Raelians, which believes that humans are the result of a genetic engineering project run by super intelligent extra-terrestrials."
LOL!

You should read what the christians believe - it's absolutely hysterical. In their version the humans are also the result of a genetic engineering project but run by a single super intelligent extra-terrestrial!

and what about the copy of a copy...?
does it live at 4x speed?
(if the first clone is 2x)

ah.. and now we have a real reason to use seconds, thirds etc..

George senior, junior, the third, etc...

As I said on AGW, it's only a matter of time until Al Davis creates 2 clones of Bo Jackson.
