And they did it again
. . . First, a few years
ago, they cloned a sheep. Well, that’s what they want to make us think. See, if I was a
genius scientist I would start cloning a flee or a goldfish. Something
small. But no, they started with a sheep, probably 'cause a sheep is nice,
cuddly and functional . . . that is if they cloned it before shaving season.
Anyway, ancient history till today. It’s
all over the net that in

Yes,
I agree, strange packaging, but still a trading tool, and therefore just
like money . . . and therefore a
criminal offense in my book.
Talking about money . . . we all know that half the world’s currency that
has magically disappeared over the last year was in great part due to
devaluated properties. Well here you are. I just found the other half. I bet
you that way down there in But
we’re drifting off the subject. Dolly the sheep was born in 1996 and put
down (yes you read that correctly) in 2005. Now probably this new camel,
that is called Achievement, will
be joined in no time by a few brothers like
Overachievement,
Underachievement and
Mistake. When
they are traded for a beautiful
virgin, she will probably be
put down in a year or so, but hey, that’s only logistics. No seriously,
let’s say Achievement doesn’t do
as well as one would hope and needs to be put down. And let’s say there will
be a bit more cloning over the next few decades. A few dogs and cats, later
on a chimpanzee or a gorilla, some will be ok and others won’t be, so maybe
they will have to be put down, too. And just for fun, let’s say we can all
buy an all-in-one-cloning package at the local drugstore in a century or
two. You know, like a pregnancy test with instructions for use, and surgical
gloves. And let’s say you think it’s a good day to have a carbon copy of
yourself or a loved one hanging around the house. And let’s say this exact
duplicate of you or your husband or your child doesn’t quite meet your
standards. And needs to be put down. Would that be a crime? |
