I've seen it with my own eyes

Took a vacation out to Denver this week to a huge cattle show, had a great time.

In one area they have a setup where people display bulls that they hope to sell semen from for breeding purposes. Here are 2 of the 5 cloned bulls produced from cells taken from a very popular show calf sire, Full Flush. These two bulls were identical, the only way the guy said they could tell them apart was the one on the right had a small patch of ringworm on his neck.

It was an impressive site, but one that scared me at the same time.

That cloning stuff isn't right. JMHO Seems like somebody is trying to play GOD. Because of the problems associated with cloning it is just a matter of time befor something goes wrong.

I don't think that cloning bulls or anything is right.

I have any problem with cloning. I guess if God didn't want us to clone he wouldn't have given us the brains to do it. As

far as cloning humans are concerned that doesn't bother me either. I grew up with some friends who were identicle twins. Most of the time I couldn't tell them apart by looking at them. their personalities sure were different.

Talk about off topic. It's still about trucks.

Silverado's rule!

As far as cloning; No.. I dont see it as right... But there is some great stuff that comes from that whole subject of stem cells and all... I dont see any reason not to grow human organs.. For example... I can see where kidneys that were grown from stem cells could come in handy in the times we have shortages... IMO there is lots to be gained, but dont think the actual cloning of a human being is acceptable in this country... Dont get upset when it happens elsewhere on the globe, though... As a matter of fact we might should expect it...

I agree Misdirected,

If a person needs a ner kidney or heart they can clone one and there isn't any problem with organ rejection because it is cloned from the person who needs it. Lots of kidney , liver, heart patients are waiting for this technolgy to get rolling. I just hope it is reality by the time I need to use it.

If it wasn't for the scientists making new discoveries and and advancing technology we would still be fighting diseases like Polio, and smallpox. How many of us have fathers who have extended their lives due to bypass surgery. Some people have religious convictions that do not agree with all advancments in medicine. Thats their right, this is the US of A. I personally think we should give the medical researchers all they need to continue to find cures and advance the medical profession.

In my mine the jury is still out on cloning. As far as growing organs, I think it is a great idea. If we could've done it a few years ago my mother would still be alive today.

I heard the baby the woman in France gave birth to(the first clone baby) was a clone of herself. Now...the thought of giving birth to myself...creeps me out. There is something wrong with that picture.
