Boys from Brazil, anyone? Creating an exact genetic duplicate (clone) of someone is a technical feat, but people are shaped greatly by their own experiences and upbringing. Even if Cady's clone looks exactly like her, it's not Cady-- it's her twin. Hear that, mom?
@Kaiser-Machead: Ah you too beat me to it! I don't see anything wrong with cloning a person, but a dead person? Thats just kinda creepy don't you think?
No hold on, this is not some child that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Childred, uh, *had* their shot, and nature *selected* them for extinction!
I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that he's using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. He read what others had done and he took the next step. He didn't earn the knowledge for himself, so he doesn't take any responsibility... for it. He stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as he could and before he even knew what he had, he bred it with a cow and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now...
@BEERxTaco: BEERxTaco, if you want me to run your little commenting trip, there are two conditions: first, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Ponies is. All you have to do is tell us we're doing a good job, and click the little heart when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in return for my services is the right to hunt one of the editors. A male, a buck only. How and why is my business. Now if you don't like either of those conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base comment right here, or in a Engadget, or in the middle of a Digg nest for all I care. But I've been on too many threads with noobs to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?
@Kaiser-Machead: Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'.
I'll comment on this thread fer ya, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad punning. Not like going Engadget, leavin' one-liners and Firsts. This comment thread, swallow you whole. Little profanin', little snarkin', an' down you go.
And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your pageviews, put all your blogs on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my inanity a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll comment fer three, but I'll threadjack, and invent a meme of the day fer ten.
But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to be better than Engadget, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be an abandoned RSS feed.
I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates. There's just too many Star Commenters on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself.
Fer that you get the glowin' flame icon, the 10,000+ pageview, the whole damn thing.
I'd like to be infused with a penguin. I'm very antisocial and wouldn't mind living in the arctic.
And on a related note. Cloning is a very touchy subject. From a scientifical and technological standpoint, it's incredible but from a morality standpoint, I'm on the fence.
@Saboth: SCIENCE!!! Isn't it wonderfull? The only downside is having to wait those 18 years though....sigh...
All reality though, that's a little....creepy...if the pregnancies took, would that mean the children would be a LIVING zombie? A living undead? I'm so confused...

Then perhaps you should reconsider. Rather than a penguin, I'd suggest a cat infusion--much better chance of staying balanced on that fence.

This kind of reminds me of Galapagos.
