Human cloning from cow eggs and human cells
Ok found some links... explains what I meant without me having to type it, thank God.

Nice
I thought you were talking about doing something more than just messing with individual cells or whatever. I THINK anything beyond what they are doing is illegal in humans.
I'll also look up the stuff about the Korean doctor, some of the info on those links may be behind, as like I said before, one of the scientists at the forefront of human cloning research was exposed as a fraud.
They say Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and all that shit but never mention him cutting off the arms of Native Americans who didn't find a certain quota of gold by the end of the day or tossing babies into the forest or raping the women, so on and so on.
The powers that be are very influential. If they don't want us to know, we likely won't know unless some people do not mind risking their lives and that of their loved ones.

I heard about that but didn't even bother to really research it at all. If you find out some more please post it.
I'm curious.

if only the powers that be had the ability to stop the media from finding out about a certain blue dress

I had a history teacher (elementary school I think) who actually did tell us that the reason Columbus' funding was cut off was because he did so many horrible things that the queen wouldn't let him stay in charge 😂
He didn't go into much detail though.
Hehe, we will have to continue that somewhere else though. Way too off topic LOL.
I'm still wondering why some are so skeptical of huge mutations. Maybe not Godzilla size, but the government is always about three generations ahead technology wise than the public is. I'm including the use of satiliettes for anything, any sort of bandwidth, any sort of PC anything, etc.

Huge mutations have been made an integral part of SciFi. People just naturally assume that large scale mutations are something made up for comics or movies.

its really strange and disappointing. Apparently the vast majority of Chinese science is suspect of fraud, which makes me skeptical of all these articles I have written by people out of the university of Beijing...

Originally posted by chithappensI think anyone Not in the genetic field really doesn't appreciate just what is involved in genetic manipulation. AFAIK, it isn't like flipping a switch. I would think that some traits, at least, are determined by "teams" of genes working synergistically to produce a given trait. Even then, to produce a desired trait (eg, huge size) out of context (context = rest of genome) could have unpredictable if not disastrous consequences for the overall organism. But I could be wrong.

exactly. It isn't that at some point when we understand much more about genetics that we might be able to customize certain properties of creatures it would be possible, but even at this point, our clones are imperfect at best.
There have been some remarkable advances, like being able to produce spider silk in goat's milk, and in agriculture especially, but the days of being able to selectively effect qualities like size are long off.
Something like size is unfortunately mediated by much more than just a single gene. Bones and skeletal arrangements have evolved for a very limited range of variation within a species, organ placement is much the same. Hell, even the speed of conduction in nervous responses from head to toe would be alarmingly high. Were it even possible, basic biology will limit some of the excesses of what can be done with genetic engineering alone.

And exposure to massive amounts of radiation (released from the explosion of an Atomic Bomb) will prove to be fatal for a living being. Such level of Radiation is in no way friendly to any living body.
