I just turned 21 earlier this month.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Personally, I think cloning is just downright creepy.
I don't think we as humans have the right to play god.
But hey, whatever those genetic dudes want.
:blah:

We play god every time we have a steak.........

...... or play black and white.  :P :D

LOL We play God all the time. Every time an artist paints a picture or a modeller makes a ship or an 8 year old child makes a lego model. What are they doing but moving their hands across the void and creating something. We all have that urge built in, I think. ;)

I'm wondering, is this connected / related to the genetic age of Dolly the (cloned) sheep?  I'm sure I remember a story about that animal inheriting the aging characteristics of its 'parent'.

That was down to Dolly inherting the telomeres from the animal she was cloned from rather than getting a new set as she would have if she'd been born naturally.

No sure the article is related to Dolly the cloned sheep.  I just can't get over how neat that actually is, to check if the organs are good at the cellular level.  We and living things are just a big, well organized cluster of cells (which is built by lots and lots of molecules)  :D

The article isn't but the point Aldo was making was that Dolly was around 6 years old at birth IIRC because all the telomeres in the cell she was cloned from already degraded. Starting from a newly fertilised cell resets that clock but cloning doesn't.

Bear with me but in metal gear they harked at that when they mentioned vintage stock being taken from big boss.  :)
