Where's Mulder and Scully? I think the x-files did a few shows on unleashing million year old bacteria, organisms, etc. I think pretty much everyone died except, of course, our heroes. Kinda scary if you ask me.
That cloning stuff is pretty creepy across the board. I've heard proponents talk about solving food shortages, etc. One of the wonders of our diversity is all people, critters, and plantlife have differents immunities to disease, viruses, bacteria. Theoretically, each clone would have same strengths&weaknesses... one virus could wipe out all the clones. So what? Well, say you clone the perfect cow, or sheep, or wheat, or corn, or say, soldier... and society relies on these cloned organisms to function... wham, one simple virus that might only affect 2% of the normal population wipes out the whole clone population. Not cool.
And that baby thing... man, I have a child and I don't know how I might go on if anything ever happened to her.. but I think having another child may be a better solution then cloning the first unfortunate child.
Pretty deep stuff.
