Clone a Pet

Yeah, you would. From what I understand about cloning, the being/creature cloned is identical genetically to the original, but can differ in personality. It also wouldn't have any of the memories that the original had, since obviously memories aren't genes. :)

Did anyone see The Sixth Day with Arnold Schwarzenegger? It had something that was very similar to this, although the memories were transferred as well.

 

You mean The Sixth Sense? :D

The real money isnt in cloned porn stars... It's in Android pornstars. Cloned humans would have personality issues and rights... Androids? not so much. Not only that, but Android sex doesnt qualify as adultery.

 

Speaking of Androids... Let's get Android pets...

memories werent transfered... they were implented

 

first they cloned arnold (he doesnt have any memories), but then with that eye thing, they implanted the memories to the arnold clone (now he has memories)

 

that why he remembered only until the flyng trip and woke up in the taxi without knowing anything....

 

 

speaking of the topic, why clone a pet if its dead??? it woulnt be the pet u missed, only an identical cat

 

better adopt a new cat for $5 than clone one for $35

 

i read somewhere that beacause of the cromosomes they use to clone are the same age than the doner, the clone is technicly the same age than the doner

 

i mean, if a cat died because of natural causes and it had 20 years, the clone (besides it loooks like a baby) will be, geneticly, 20 . -.

Yeah, there isn't enough room in our genome to include memories (even if we knew how). We don't even have enough room to 'pre prime' our immune system to recognise the 2.5 million possible combinations our B cells can have to recognise antigens.

 

We haven't figured out how to extend telomeres. Cells have telomeres as well as introns. Every time there is a replication via mitosis, a tiny bunch of the telomere gets chopped off. I think (I haven't looked in any of my textbooks today) that when you use that bit up, it starts chopping of bits of the rest of your genes, which is a bad thing.

 

On the topic itself, I like my dog, but if she dies there can never be another one of her as I would know she died. I'd prefer to 'roll the dice' so to speak on a new dog with its own genes. :thumbsup_anim:
