---

^mura mag short quizz.. hehe.. nosebleed.. first to answer the quizz..

1.)cloning should have one.. question that follows is cancelled out..
2.)agree.. question that follows is cancelled out..
3.)they should have.. question that follows is cancelled out..
4.)they should have.. question that follows is cancelled out..
5.)i'll hunt down the friggin scientist who cloned me, and ask where my genes came from, and look for my genetic parents, and then fall for a cloned girl bec we are just as much alike and then we'll live in hiding and have a family of our own and then our kids then evolves and mutates.. just like the movies.. hehe

Everything that have mind and is living should have soul!

so much talk about dualism. while it supports the idea that soul exists, it doesn't answer the original question.

a person, regardless how many times he is cloned, is still mortal. cloning can't be a way of escaping death.

and please, cloning has nothing to do with "enhancing the structure of a HUMAN PERSON" in the same way that having a book photocopied would not enhance it in anyway.

well, this is just my opinion, sir...

i will explain my stand on this matter anytime soon. thanks..

nice topic

really now.. big word..

Genetic engineering (or bioengineering) is a general term referring to any alteration of an organism’s genes for practical purposes. Cloning is one aspect of genetic engineering, the part that allows scientists to use a variety of methods to duplicate copies of already existing organisms or genetic material. But the term "genetic engineering" is much broader, encompassing a wide range of procedures designed to alter genetic material, not only copying genes, but in some cases, making completely new proteins. -library

just to add, two types of bioeng:
1.) genetics
2.) subset of mech eng

cloning does not include "any alteration of an organism’s genes."

that really doesnt refute the fact that genetic alteration is indeed a sequitor of cloning or vice versa.. hehe..

i wonder how you understand alteration or the process of cloning for that matter..
question, do you need a specimen to be cloned? where can you get the specimen? how can you get the specimen? i guess you have to alter the donor then dont you think?

this was the process used with the most famous sheep.. still doesnt change the fact that genetics of donor were not altered for the process to be completed.. and this is just one of genetic engineering processes..

steps of cloning:

1.)enucleation (involves alteration)
2.)somatic cell transfer(involves alteration)
3.)cell fusion(involves alteration)

result: dolly

We also need to be careful because there's a formula developed by Primatech that gives people superhuman abilities. A competing company, Pinehearst Research, is bent on getting their hands on this formula. The result will be disastrous if they get their hands on this because Earth will explode.

Dr. Suresh was working on a similar formula, but unfortunately, his work went awry after he used himself as a guinea pig.
