One Step Closer To My Dream

According AP, scientists in California have produced human embryos that are clones from two men!!!!

NEW YORK - Scientists in California say they have produced embryos that are clones of two men, a potential step toward developing scientifically valuable stem cells

The new report documents embryos made with ordinary skin cells. But it's not the first time human cloned embryos have been made. In 2005, for example, scientists in Britain reported using embryonic stem cells to produce a cloned embryo. It matured enough to produce stem cells, but none were extracted.

Stem cells weren't produced by the new embryos either, and because of that, experts reacted coolly to the research.

"I found it difficult to determine what was substantially new," said Doug Melton of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. He said the "next big advance will be to create a human embryonic stem cell line" from cloned embryos. "This has yet to be achieved."

Dr. George Daley of the Harvard institute and Children's Hospital Boston called the new report interesting but agreed that "the real splash" will be when somebody creates stem cell lines from cloned human embryos.

"It's only a matter of time before some group succeeds," Daley said. (click here for full article)

This is all controversial and shit-but for me it's one step closer to my dream of having my own clone. Now, I know people think this is wrong and shit and that we're playing God (which I'm okay with, seriously, I think I could have done a better job than God anyway), but I think this is the most awesome thing since Entenmann's Holiday Cup Cakes. Why you ask? Well a clone means you can basically do anything to your body and when it starts to crap out on you- you can just borrow from the clone.

For example- I can smoke pot all day long- and when my lungs are shot- I'll just take a new healthy pair from my clone. If I drink until my liver falls out of my ass- I'll just pop in my spare. Should my brain finally turn to rot and ooze out of my nose and ears from watching all that TV- I'll just insert a new one. If my balls dry up from my chronic masturbating- I'll just tie on a new set. See people- we shouldn't be scared of clones- we should embrace them.

Now if only they would manufacture my robot double so it can go to work for me and make money for me and then spend the night in my closet, a la Vicki the Robot, then I'd be a happy happy man.
