I am just waiting for them to clone some of those feamle Bond movie

stars from the 60`s and 70`s.

I don`t believe I said that!

Samina,

Ha ha. Alright, alright, alright. I`ll give it to you. That was a good one...and I just don`t know how to do a better one on that.

As for the Comp. Prof. bit, I had thought you were a social scientist. Anyhow...

Dude,
I typed this in my http space:
www.1am.talkingcr@p.as-usual@chowk.com...
and I got your profile!

Doh!

But, as I am typing this I am looking at your citations section and the Comp. Prof in me is impressed...go Team Research!

Ana,

Howdy! I gotta be honest with you, I think I killed my patient! I`ll never make it into healthcare. The guy was suffering from cardiac failure and I was meant to ease his heart workout and give it plenty of low resistance, give his chambers some space to work efficiently and increase the bloody supply to its tissue...and I killed the b@stard. Can you believe that? I actually began putting the guy`s heart through its paces. It`s like telling a 70-year-old to start bench lifting. Don`t ask me what happened. Whilst reading the question, I turned into a wonky-eyed dyslexic with a jello brain. What an idiot! I completely mis-read the question. Screwed that one up big time.

And then there was this really annoying tune going through my head. Ravel`s Bolero would have suited me but `I`m a Barbie girl - in a Barbie world`, wasn`t one of them. You know how it`s always the cr@ppy tunes which stick in your head, dontcha?

But apart from that, yeah thanks, the rest of the paper and other papers were cool, real cool. It`s amazing how your mind opens up during stress and you seem to find the angle and height, at which a heap of powder collapses, fascinating! Give me a cardigan, white socks and sandals anytime.

Samina,

Ha ha...ah, so easy to bait. Don`t you remember...no seriously, don`t you remember...no? Okay, here`s the link: www.1am.talkingcr@p.as-usual@chowk.com.

Hope that helps.

Wellwellwell....look who`s got an piece on Chowk...:)

Umer, this looks like something you`d write...hope to read it soon!

``..PS. Oh and I forgot to mention, the comment abuot wiping out Texan men was written by none other then our resident feminist...Samina Shah!...``

Care to provide the exact post in which I expressed this idea?

Umer,
Hope your exams went well! :-)

Howdy`all,

digit, t, Semi...Ta!

t,

Thanks for the welcome, mate. Sorry about the `sahib` bit. Hope you weren`t offended. I just said it out of respect. As for the 23rd Chromosome, you know, for a chromosome which doesn`t code for much (hairy ears and the all-important hormone), it`s a pretty awesome little thing!

Digit,

It`s what Semi said but I`m guessing that the whitecoats are still guessing about the reasons on a molecular level. People talk about these telomere things which are present on your DNA and shorten with the ageing DNA but there aren`t any studies (I think) which relate telomeres to ageing.

The interesting thing with Dolly, however, is this…

Dolly was cloned with DNA that was extracted from the udder cell of a 6-year-old ewe. Therefore, Dolly was cloned from a six year old DNA. Now, when Dolly was born, she may have been zero years old but her DNA was 6 years old. When dolly died because of complications, her body was 6 years old but she carried 12-year-old DNA…

12 is the average life span of a ewe.

So in a way, she lived her complete life.

If this is the case, I`m guessing that in future when therapeutic cloning is perfected, the National Health Services will provide a service whereby new born babies can have a portion of their cells removed and frozen. This frozen DNA will be only 9 months old and if the individual suffers bodily damage in the future, this DNA can be used for repair work. For all we know, it may become a standard procedure in the future when tissue from the babies` umbilical cords will be preserved and frozen for future uses.

...digit...dolly was put to death because of a progressive lung disease and premature aging...she hardly lived up to half the life expectancy of a sheep...they don`t know yet whether it was due to her being a clone....but all the same...makes you wonder whether cloning is really worth it....it really is a pandora`s box...

welcome to chowk umer murteza

the twenty third chromosome
bald, bawdy, bent men or men handsome
in many can cause havoc fulsome

the only thing bigger than the creator
is the ego of a few men atop a tor
neglecting lessons taught by an adulator
prophethood is not any more a factor
godhood ---he wants to be the ultimate actor.

...t

ps:...my usual protest...the only sahib i know in the family is walid saheb;)

...speaking of Dolly, what exactly was the cause of her death, and was it in any way related to the fact that she was a clone?
