Cloning, enhanced immunities, enhanced brain activity, enhanced, variable metabolism...

Everyone knows that they cloned a sheep. But did you know they've also cloned dogs, cats, monkeys, and other animals? One day, we may never have to worry about infectious diseases again. Also, the ability to think way beyond your current biological limits and be able to eat whatever you want without gaining any fat. All of these things seem like science fiction or something that's very far off, but in reality: it's the present. They can already clone humans if they want to and enhance our bodies beyond what they can currently do. Even clone our own organs for easy organ transplants. They've created hormones that can exponentially increase our thinking capacities or the speed of our processing. They've also created a hormone that can make our metabolisms automatically adjust to our calorie intake. Why aren't these things being used? Because they're illegal.

Regardless if they're legal or not, people are going to do use these things. In fact, since people are so keen to reject these things as unnatural, scientists are warning that it could cause a war in the near future. If officials don't wise up and realize that the time to start preparing to negotiate with these enhanced individuals could be sooner than they think, it could already be too late. A war between enhanced, super humans and the humans who oppose such enhancements... It definitely does sound like the premise of fantasy, but it's already knocking on our door.

That's evolution! X-Men!

I'm actually all for recreating parts of one's body to replace crippled or destroyed limbs or organs. But a fully fletched clone goes too far.

Can we have Stands too?

Sounds a bit, er...far-fetched. =| Or just plain cynical.

I'd bet Twentieth Century Fox that the military'll issue order 66 if that happens.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

I think I'll clone myself and then have my mind transferred into my younger body. Of course I'll have superpowers. Super quick regeneration, adamantium bones and claws. I'll be Wolverine.

Aw yeah!

I agree with you But I also like to point out on the "evolution" part. Now I can't specifically remember where I heard this but it was said awhile ago something about humans still having room to evolve further, SO this could end up like an X-Men scenario future....

I'd do the same but opt for Magneto like powers. 8D

Except, as far as I remember, cloning is imperfect. Dont cloned sheep and such have an incredibly short lifespan? plus no matter how I think of it, a clone of a human would not be like in Sci fi, where you clone yourself to live forever or some such thing. first off, a clone doesnt have the original's memories, since it is created as a baby. Its a completely new person that looks just like you and is only likely to act similar to you. surroundings will deeply impact that too. plus, even if they did have all the mind and memories of the original, it still wouldnt be you... well, thats to say. you cant be him. unless you just say [tornado fang] it and hope the clone will act just like you would have.

Otherwise, if its simply to have a copy of you at your side,  still, i dont think it would work out...

Most definitely.

We should persecute anyone who isn't a natural human.

That always works well.

I'm still all for creating a female version of myself.  She'd rule the world.   8)

Hey, Lasik is giving the opportunity for people with not so good vision to see like I do.  Just gotta beware of people like Khan.

Don't need a right hand after you've got an opposite gender version of yourself. MY OWN CLONE and so on.

And on a more intriguing note, what would the end result be? Keep in mind you both share the exact same genes!  XD

The result would be a being of pure awesome, especially in the case of PB and PBPB.
