I am very surprised this is not all over the internet.
It seems that humans have already been cloned. Or more precisely, human cloned embryos have been implanted into 4 women and scientists are waiting for the result. In a middle east country, where cloning is permited. OF COURSE. Noone can oppose progress.

*raises eyebrow* what middle-eastern country permitted cloning? I thought my area is totally against this! Oh wait, you mean there are no LAWS yet...OMG, where?

And OMG, you're listening to SID! I'm totally in love with their "USO" now!

Hehehe! SID are good. And I like USO as well!

The article doens't mention the country. But one scientist is from Cyprus. I am curius as well.

Firstly I guess I did a good thing I did not choose to study genetics. I wanted to be the first to clone humans. >_< They would have gotten me! Bah! But I'm anxiously waiting for the results!

Ok about religion...people are free to voice their opinions but I wouldn't support insulting someone's religion. Not believing is one thing but insulting? I think it is too much. Unlike scientific theories religion is something many people grow up with. It's defining them as individuals. Think how Greeks define themselves as a nation based on their history & religion. Ok, I'm not religious enough but I understand under what circumstances the United Nations voted this...
(Also how come I answered in a serious post? Go me! XD)

Naturally it is wrong to insult people. But the problem with religious people is that EVERYTHING can be a potential insult.

cloned humans? o__O

Well.. I am really curious whether it's true. But sooner or later it will hapen. That's for sure. XD

This whole cloning thing has always freaked me out a little bit. I don't know whether it's in itself a good thing or a bad thing to be happening.

And about the religion thing, I see it a lot in recent years, more so than before. I think it's because people are realising the younger generations aren't holding on to religion anymore? Or something like that. They try to make it a bigger issue than it is so that it attracts attention. Low and cheap trick. :/
