If you could....would you?
Haven't made a thread in a while...so yeah, here's a new one.
Just want to see if we can make it last for a 'lil while. Two questions, I guess kinda semi-horror related. Answer and discuss. 1: I've often wondered this myself - If human flesh were cloned, eg - flesh only - no "brains" just random bits and peices. Assuming it was legal to do so, and mass produced as a foodstuff, would you venture to try it? ~I'm all for experimentation myself, and have to say that as long as I wasn't eating "someone", I'd be quite ok with it. I mean, if they're growing flesh, I imagine they could also engineer it to have less fat and more muscle, maybe even make it boneless, who knows. How would human taste, I wonder? Would we go well in a curry, sliced cold in a sandwich, or grilled on a bbq? (I know we'd sure have nice sets of ribs...) Maybe they could make a new kinda sashimi out of us? If you told someone to go eat a dick...would they take it literally? Anyway, my answer in short - Yes, I'd at least try it. 2: Pet cloning. It's been explored in one or two movies, and, I'm sure we all have dreams about our friends lost over the years...so, if you could keep a blood sample, and simply have a new one cloned when your old one died...would you do it? This ones a little more difficult to answer for me...I've lost some GREAT pets, and it's ripped me to shreds every time. If I were to clone any of them, sure...I mean, it'd be nice to think that you had an identical LOOKING animal around, but it wouldn't be the same animal, would it? However, I assume it would also be likely to share a lot of common behavioural attributes, and intelligence levels of its predecessor, and therefore if you were happy with the first one, the second one would seem a nearer substitute than a "new" animal...would that be enough to keep someone happy, or would they miss the old pet more? hmmm....pondering....I dunno on this one. There's too many as yet unknown factors. I'm all for making it legal to do this, but I'm not sure if I'd be a fn of the process. I suppose I'd be willing to give it a try just to see what it was like, and base any further decisions on that outcome, so yeah.... There you go, discuss. Also, feel free to add any other "?" topics you've put some thought towards in your time. - B

This is one sick post.
It just may work! lol. 1. I am not adventurous when it comes to eating habits, so there is no way in hell I could tear into some human flesh. 2. No. (Why did I even bother replying to this post? I'm so boring...lol).

If a dog and a cat mated, and the baby looked half like a dog and half like a cat, would you like to have it as a pet? What would you feed it? Would you mix dog food and cat food together? And would the animal try to chase itself? And not being able to chase itself, do you think it would go into fits and just kind of writhe around, flopping?

I'd clone my pet probably 7 to 8 times to see if it develops different personalities like Multiplicity.
Y'know, there'd be the retarded dog, the evil dog who tries to steal my girl, and the slightly homosexual dog.

The flesh thing...no way. I really don't think I could do that. I have trouble still with most things that are actaully edible. I'm 22 years old, and have yet to even eat a mushroom.
The idea of cloning a pet IS kinda cool, but I think I'd rather keep my pets memories, rather than try and replace them. I know there are other animal babies out there I could love just as much (not more) as my dead animals. It may sound kinda silly, but I don't think I'm emotionally ready to think about cloning of anything close to me.

If you could clone human flesh then by rationalisation you could clone animal flesh, as genetically animals are easier to clone (hence Dolly). So unless a tribe of cannibals were able to develop cloning technology....why would you want to clone human when you could clone a cow?
But to answer you, I'll eat anything for hours, as my girlfriend will testify :D
