Roch + 537 DR February 20, 2021 (edited) Jurassic Park not such a wild idea. A surrogate female Ferret carried the Black Footed Ferret to birth. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/2-month-old-ferret-clone-marks-milestone-in-animal-conservation/ar-BB1dOyDl Apparently, there is a race to produce a Wooly Mammoth from genetic material from an extinct mammoth from Russia's frozen northern tundra. They plan to have a healthy Africam Elephant as a surrogate mother. Seriously. Why stop there . Is Ted Williams next ? https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ted+williams+cryonics&view=detail&mid=648487A543D899605142648487A543D899605142&FORM=VIRE&PC=EMMX01 Edited February 22, 2021 by Roch 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AOC could be one of the surrogates carrying a Donald clone. We laugh . . . . But if you can clone a ferret , they can a human . Some ethical questions need to be answered. Apparently China is doing a lot in this area. Edited February 22, 2021 by Roch 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Younger, healthier, just as ambitious. No he'll just sit in prison as "spare parts" for when old Xi breaks down. 😎 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or are we back to dragging in Korean women by the hair? Or do the Chinese outsource to Indonesia? Hey, whole new industry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Symmetry + 109 KC February 22, 2021 You can genetically advance soldiers after birth... CRISPR cas9. Already banned in athletes. https://www.wada-ama.org/en/gene-doping If you think the US isn't doing this type of research you are naive. That or you have to accept that China, and others, are technologically superior. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember 15-20 years ago all the questions regarding cloning from Dolly the sheep and its application to humans? It was a big debate, then a few laws were proposed, then it all went silent. Don't think people quit working on that, and that human cloning isn't being perfected. The Chinese could teach the Nazi's some lessons in Medical experiments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
