Tonight I watched this French documentary called GMA - Genetically Modified Athletes, and the soundtrack was crammed with Aphex tracks!
Tracks that they played: (In brackets their spelling errors in the credits)
Kladfvgbung Micshk (Kladf Ygbung Micshk) The Waxen Pith Next Heap With Gwarek2 (Gwarek) Bit4 Wet Tip Hen Ax (Wep Tip Tenaxe) (!) Gwely Mernans (Gwety Mernans) Wax The Nip Icct Hedral (Icct Hedra)
They also played a track from Req.
Needless to say I was quite excited to hear all this, but this hardly sustains an interesting topic. So...
Post your thoughts on genetics and cloning. Do you think it is morally wrong to create clones of animals and people? Or do you think cloning is a natural progression of science. Also, post whether you think genetically modified food is a good idea or not.
And if you had a clone of yourself what are the things you'd get it to do that you'd never do yourself? :)

That Sifl & olly episode where Sifl clones himself to cut down on the cost of getting expensive celebrity guests is hilarious. The clones end up all weird and retarded, and one of them even thinks he's Jack Nicholson...and Sifl tries dismissing the bad clones as unruly cousins that won't go away. Fucking classic.
Yeah and anyway, how mainstream is this documentary? Could one motivated individual in South Carolina find such an artifact?

its a complex issue...
theoretically... Id say yes, lets allow cloning. Make humans healthier, get rid of birth defects, make everyone intellegent, and compasionate, and non-violent, etc etc...
but in reality... no one would make such a person. It would all be funded by a govt/military program, and so alls we would get out of this is super soldiers.
lets see, make a healthy, good person, who adds alot to our society, or make a human that can endure combat longer and with more effectiveness...
guess who theyll pick...
and also, even if we made clones/genetically modified humans... then it would turn into this whole "natural" vs "artificile" thing... and it would just be a whole new form of "racism" if you can call it that.

they should only allow cloning in cases of great human benefit, such as the unique thrill of blowing your doppelganger away with a shotgun blast to the face, or to create miniture versions of animals so that you can make them have sex on camera

It would be cool if they like put in termination dates into the clones and the clones would go beserk trying to find out how to stay alive. Like seeking out the scientists who made them and crushing their skulls with their bare hands and then in the end they would not kill anymore because they loved life too much. Some of the more violent clones would say stuff like, "Let me tell you about my mother!"
That would be neat.

a clone will age to the age of its genetic donor at the time of extraction of the genetic material- the first few generations of human clones would grow at the normal rate but age terribly, and look like the kids in akira.

well assuming that is the donor was of adult age- in blade runner are they cyborgs with cloned material or just superior clones?

they are made from scratch in blade runner
but can kind of be considered clones... because there was different models, and you could have 2 of the same model... look the same and everything...
but they arnt clones, cause they didnt have an orginal human that they copied... they were just made from scratch

I think cloning would/will be a bad idea in terms of our necessity for disease to keep a sort of equilibrium in the population (which is not in equilibrium; it's growing). I think it would be cool, on the other hand, to see what the black market would be like. Buy a sex slave for $100,000. Someone who stays locked in the closet until you need a partner for Unreal Championship Instragib. The possibilities are enless.

i dont any beef with genetic engineering or cloning in principle
i mean, we should be careful, but i dont have any moral objections or anything like that
