Was flipping around the dial the other night and came across a documentary on cloning, on The Learning Channel. Throughout the show they had clips of the SP episode where Stan was cloned. I thought that was pretty cool. (It was a pretty interesting documentary anyway.)
Anyone else catch that?

Yeah, I saw it. It was all about cloning. They were talking about how a lab equipped to clone humans could be funded for only $140, 000. They said it would almost be as easy as shown on South Park. That's when they (TLC) showed the south park clip.

i wonder what the right to lifers will say about clones? i think rather than cloning whole humans they should just clone the various replacement organs they want then you dont have a ethical question. I saw a partial program where they were working on that and were close (they are always close :) ) to making it happen. I know that they for one reason or the other cloned/grew a human ear in a mouse.

i cant see the problem with cloning replacement organs unless you are some religous nut who doesnt belive in medicine. in which case by all means go ahead and die. hopefully without children

You mean when they showed the FIRST clip. They showed at least two clips, maybe three. (I wasn't watching that closely.)
