Scientists Move Closer to Human Therapeutic Cloning 136

Which is worse (Score:2, Funny)
A) Human stem cells taken from humans
B) Human stem cells taken from cloned monkeys
C) Yes
I'm guessing that they're going to go with C
Mostly because I can't imagine they'll like cloned monkeys

WTF is that supposed to mean?
You're cloning yourself... to feel better?
If you don't feel good, why clone yourself?

It may one day be possible to do this with human beings. Until then animal testing is in order.

Of my own flesh and bone
With its Y-chromosome changed to X
And when it is grown
Then my own little clone
Will be of the opposite sex.
(Chorus)
Clone, clone of my own,
With your Y-Chromosome changed to X
And when I'm alone
With my own little clone
We will both think of nothing but sex.
Now can anyone accelerate the aging process? By the time she's 18 I could be dead.

If that is a human, than I think I may have just picked a human out of my nose this morning. Now I am going to find it, and call it Freddie.
