One of me dino's favorite movies. Haven't seen the sequel yet.

Who needs robots when you can have clones? Only lack of longevity prevents them from prevailing. Easier to "kill" than robots, also. Self awareness might become another problem with clones. Low I.Q. would be the answer to "Blade Runner."

I think humans could be cloned, but only the shell really. What it thought would have to be inserted into it probably in the normal way over a number of years. So, whats the point of artificially cloning a human when you can make them the normal way anyway.

Why did I just imagine swishing my dino tail?
Check out CaptainKirk writing about Michigan State playing with goat genes.

It's apes, not monkeys that evolved into homanids. If humans are the aim they took the wrong fork in the road.

When me dino's eyes took in the bit about the goats, my imagination began to explode toward but not exactly with what you followed up with. +1 for thinking like a dino.

IQ, Strength, etc. Are tied to genetics.
But Personality and Beliefs are programmed in by our education systems, and experiences.

The more exciting stuff is at Michigan State, they have developed bacteria that modifies DNA of Goats to switch SPECIFIC Genes on and off...

We are understanding IQ is controlled by less than 200 genes, with 10 having the most known impacts.

Imagine China using this to make Super Soldiers. And Higher IQ people.

Hopefully they don't turn off Empathy and start screaming: "Terminate! Terminate!" (Dr. Who/Dalek)

Cool! (-:

Me dino would rather listen to someone scratch a blackboard.

I hear they have plenty of room at the famous hotel Gitmo!

Like I always say...Do Not Pass GO!..Go Straight to Gitmo.

That cackle sends chills up my spine. If ever there was someone who had sold her soul, it would be Hillary Clinton.

Hopefully, a lot of the elite will soon delete themselves in some country club federal prison.
Personally, me dino would love to see them cope with the maximum security state prison I worked at.
Just before I retired, the two-man cells of the medium custody blocks were converted into all the more cramped three-man cells.
Imagine some inmate taking a smelly dump after lock-down.
On second thought, those white collar criminals would likely be sent to the dorms with the more "peaceful" inmates, though inmates are transferred from dorms to blocks and from blocks to dorms on a regular basis.

No I meant DElite and I prefer to spell it: Delete...there is Nothing elite about them, they are quite the opposite and need to be deleted!

Just like the "black" nobility (those that escaped the fall of rome and created central banking in Venice)...nothing noble about them...therefore I add the prefix "ig" for ignobility.

No! No! No!
Not unless they can fix that nasty voice of hers.

Thanks for the laugh.

Actually, "delete" might work better. If the cloners could delete the parasite gene, even a Hillary clone might be tolerable.

. . . On the other hand, maybe not.

No big deal, just be sure to clone Trump at the same time.

delete? Did you mean elite?

Not until we make it illegal to clone the parasitical humanoid ruleless delete.
