Teleportation Discovered

That's what I'm saying, it's actually NOT beyond us. We can clone a sheep and make it the same as another sheep, not younger. But we are just unsure if that is "ethical" to attempt with humans.

 

I know cloning isn't. I was merely talking about the age. There would never be a point where the clone was the same age as the original. Which kinda defeats the purpose.

 

The clones they make always look to be the same age. Look up that sheep clone shit.

 

'look to be the same age? Dolly the sheep died at 6 years old. I'm 36 - I'd have to wait 36 years for my clone to reach 36.

 

Maybe. How do you know that "six" years old wasn't measured in actual time, instead of a actual measurement of cellular degeneration. Like they counted it's "Sixth Birthday" as the day six years after it was created. Not 6 years after it was modeled to be the age of.

 

Born 5 July 1996
Died 14 February 2003 (aged 6)

 

But just because it was born July 5th doesn't mean it was born with 0 year old decay. It may have been born at the degenerative level of a 5 year old sheep, and died at "six", but cellularly it may have died at something more equal to an 11 year old sheep.

 

Cloning right

......and recoverable DNA from the Shroud of Turin could give us back our lord and savior; but instead of Jurassic Park we could have a Jesus Park with Jesus’ walking around (sometimes on water) performing various miracles.

finshaggy, clones are genetically identical to their parent...not the same "cellular age"


edit: to be fair, what you said is a type of possibility. it might be that the clone has shortened telomeres on its DNA, or some other cellular marker for ageing.

 

You could be right - which is even worse. Regardless of either - the clone would have to grow over a period of time, which is likely to be years rather than days.
To get to A to B in an instant seems a very heavy price on a person, and a societal and moral quagmire. I would prefer just to take public transport etc
