The possibility of cloning humans moved closer to reality and further from science fiction when Dolly the sheep became, in 1996, the first mammal to be cloned. Since then researchers have successfully cloned a range of animals including cows, mice and pigs. A distinction is usually made between reproductive and therapeutic cloning. The intention of reproductive cloning is to produce genetically identical babies, while therapeutic cloning covers a range of scientific and medical applications, but does not create identical individuals.
Cloning humans is most likely to involve taking genetic material from an adult cell and placing it into an egg that has had its genetic material removed. With its new genetic material an embryo could be created which, when placed into a uterus, could develop into a baby. To clone or not to clone?

AgentAjax: what about if I gave up the “I” for “us”?
Why yes it is so much better when there is an us....but thinking about it what if there is only an "I" at the time what then, as the us is redundent for the time being isent it.

I love my garden, and I would find it hard to give up... I find that no matter how stressful the day, if I go and fiddle about with the plants outside, the stress disappears, and I start to listen to the orchestra of birds around. Then the smell of the herbs, which are in amongst the roses, and everything else become obvious, and the smell of the the scented geraniums take over.. so nice..
But if I could not have an out door garden, I would have an indoor garden, and enjoy that...
I gave up on trying to find someone here in Aus and went with the Thai lady option, so glad I did as I'd still be here.
My lovely lady gave up her family and friends to move here to be with me, I've given up my bachelor pad to accommodate her and believe me, it's much more fun sharing life and love with someone other than myself.

tonyxf: Cant undestand how you got a visa so quick.
it's just a 3 month holiday visa Tony, we need to have a decent bond and history going before going for the potential spouse visa. I'm going to hate it when the 3 months is up and I have to wait for the next visa
