This stuff is truly frightening. Anyone who thinks human clones are not already
walking and talking better just rethink their position. Genetic modification, cloning
and the like, offer promise for better things for everybody (who wouldn't like to have
ready ade spare parts if yours fail?), but it will only be the ELITES who have the
best and SAFEST stuff. Us cannon fodder will have to make do with the second rate
untested crap which causes cancer, environmental waste, etc. I suppose it is only a
matter of time before "Animal Farm" comes to life and we have pigs with human arms and
legs, now THAT is going too far in MO.
