"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." -Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park


Truth is stranger than fiction: First Human Clone. I knew when Dolly was created that inevitably, there would be human clones. Just a matter of time. In science fiction, there's long been talk of clones and genetic engineering. I never would have suspected that the first people to do it would have been alien worshipping cultists though. I would have thought it would have been some megacorp somewhere, more akin to what we see in Jurassic Park or Blade Runner. Blade Runner interestingly enough is about genetically engineered humans who are trying to escape their genetic destiny (since they have built in expiration dates) and because they are denied some human rights due to the fact that they were constructed.
