  • Cloning

    I watched the movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” here recently staring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.  This movie received a lot of attention because of the breakup of Brad and Jennifer.  I have heard many people describe Brad Pitt as a good looking guy.  I have never thought of Angelina as attractive.  I think Jennifer was way better looking.  I think if they were to have children, their kids would be so cute.


    I began to think about cloning.  I started to wonder who would be the best person to clone.  I know some people would pick someone smart.  Others would pick someone like Bill Gates.  Still others would want to pick someone attractive.


    If your next child had to be a clone of someone famous, who would you want your next child to be a clone of?

  • first!

  • uuum hm i woul dclone zack de la rocha because hes incredible.

  • i dont know… prolly david crowder

  • 2nd!

  • Dave Matthews. Because I want one of my own to serenade me.

    Sigh, I love him.

  • me, kekeke

  • yay, second person to comment, woohoo ~_~))

  • I would want my child to be a clone of my childs father and I.

  • I’m not having anymore kids.  LOL  Does that mean I’m exempt?

  • Lol, cause I’m famous. Yeah, definitely shoulda read that post twice. Someone famous, I’d pick john paul, the official second, but not just because of his position, more because he was very kind, and a hard worker, who loved God.

  • I’d want him to be a clone of me
    So I could harvest his precious organs
    When I grow old
    Mwaha
    *shifty eyes*

  • hey, you’re in a different time zone than me dan! i thought, wow, he’s up at 1 am too! then i wondered who else was up at 1 am, but everyone posts in your time zone…mmhmm, now you know what I was thinking at 1:22am…

  • king david

  • I think I would want a clone of Superman.

  • i don’t want a clone. that’s just scary.

  • hmm…physical appearance is pretty much the only thing that would remain constant, i think. honestly, I can’t think of a celebrity I like enough to see their face every day…plus, that’d be really hard on the kid. He or she would have difficulty creating a separate identity for themselves…like having a really famous twin.

  • Jason Isaacs. :D

  • Tookie.

    lol, just kidding with ya!

  • As a boy Bill Clinton, Antonio Viragosia or Wil Smith.  As a female Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, or Madonna.  I wouldn’t pick anyone based on looks but on personality and drive.

  • Sidhartha

  • Chris Farley

  • Definitely JESSICA ALBA. Now she’s HOT!

  • Oooh..that’s a tough one.  I’d have to base my answer on looks alone since you can’t really ever know a celebrity’s true personality.  So, I’m going with Giselle Bundchen for a girl and Mel Gibson for a boy. 

  • Johnny Depp….enough said

  • tom hanks…because he is so darn nice.

  • Dominic Keating (Star Trek Enterprise) or Gale Harold. Yes, they’re both cute, but also smart.

  • Albert Einstein b/c he’s so darn smart!

    ((( GRANDMA HUGS )))

    Lori

  • Hmm, have my child emulate someone whose sole prestige is the fact that they were in the right place at the right time, and on something as shallow as looks… no thanks…I don’t believe in people who have merely “a pretty face”, and you can’t clone character traits…

  • Cartman from South Park

  • I’d clone me a million hott girls and have wild sex with them all!

  • let me think on that..

  • A few people are picking people they’d find hot…..surely you wouldn’t want your child to be that person, that’s a little sick.

  • Okay..

    1. yes Brad is attractive and Jennifer is more attractive then Angelina Jolie(especially since Angelina has made out and messed around with her brother.. I can’t begin to tell you how weird that girl is)

    2. I don’t think cloning humans is moral or wise.

    3. If you did clone a human he wouldn’t be the same person that you extracted DNA from. He would just look identical. He might end up having a different sense of humor and have a totally diffrent I.Q. so it wouldn’t matter if you cloned a “smart guy” or not.

  • I would also like to state that I said Brad was attractive in the most hetero way possible.

  • just say no to a clone. :shudder: I’ll pass. That would be too weird, even for the likes of me. :P

    Behold, The Bridegroom Cometh!

    It’s truly amazing what is happening in our world. Never before has prophecy been more meaningful and pertinent to our daily life. Incredible prophecies are being fulfilled right before our very eyes. What a thrilling time to be alive! You may ask “why are we so excited about this being the end time?” We are excited because all of these Final prophecies whisper Jesus is coming back soon!

    The Rapture is when those who love Jesus go with Jesus Christ to heaven in a Twinkling of an eye,and those left behind will be forced to think weird explanations, like the Multitudes of People who disappeared went into a ufo etc.

    After the Rapture, the world will be in chaos immediately. Some people will be raptured while driving in their cars, causing the cars to crash. Some people will disappear while working the most important jobs in the country, and once they disappear, cities will be destroyed. Planes will crash, electricity will go out, and phone lines will be jammed for days.If you think THIS sounds bad, the Judgements are much worse. Dont Be Left Behind!

    John 1:23

    He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

    1 John 2:28

    And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

  • no cloning for my children

  • but i don’t wanna clone!!!

  • Girl:  Probably Lisa Kudrow. I’ve heard from many a person how smart she is(despite playing some dumb-blonde roles), and she’s reasonably attractive.

    Boy:  Probably Harrison Ford, cause he has drive AND looks. 

    and niether of them are absurdly attractive, so less of a chance of their egos being too big while they’re young

  • I would probably want to clone Albert Einstein or L.M. Montgomery.

    But I don’t like cloning. Too close to playing God.
    Lord bless,
    Shohna

  • Team Aniston for sure.

  • Ooh…either Tucker Carlson or Sufjan Stevens…althoygh, I’d rather bear their children naturally….

  • I would want my child to be a clone of Johnny Depp. That way, regardless of his personality, he’d still look good and be damned suave. With a personality like that, he could con his way into anything.

    Yeah, my kids are going to be some messed-up creatures. ^_^

  • Just like me.
    Who would you want your child to look like?

  • I am famous in my own mind!

  • C.S. Lewis? *grin* Or Jamie Carey or J.R.R. Tolkien, such fun but solid people

  • I’d clone 10 jessica albas!

    Check out my band: http://www.meatspin.com  

  • VLADIMIR HOROWITZ

    TOSCANINI

    MOZART

    CHOPIN

    SCRIABIN

    the list goes on :]

  • I definitely wouldn’t want my child to be a clone of a celeb that I found sexually attractive .. that’s just odd. But you do want someone attractive because that is one of the few constants that the cloned child will have from the clonee. Intelligence, in part as well, but this is where the nuture part of the nature vs. nurture argument comes into play. Just because you clone a little Brad Pitt or Albert Eintein doesn’t mean they’ll come out anything like them. So, I’d have to say for a girl: Princess Diana and for a boy: Kurt Cobain. I picked two personalities who died too young. I think it would be interesting to put their lives into different circumstances and see what they may have accomplished.

  • I’m not really sure that a clone of anybody would be wise…where would all of our unique traits go? How could we all be individuals if we could be cloned?

  • i wouldnt want them to be.. my child should be their own person

    and omfg angelina is the hottest actress ever in my opinion.. but thats just me

  • looks like you have your answers dan. Over all people see to think cloning is wrong.

  • You, Dan.  You, of course!

  • John Elway!!! lol

  • Albert Einstein.

  • You, Dan. YOU ARE THE BOMB!

  • Funny…. I didn’t think that you asked whether we thought cloning was right or not, but who we would have cloned if we had to have a clone for our child…..

    Do you think that people chose to ignore your real question on purpose because they wanted to answer whether or not they thought it was right, or was is a knee-jerk response to the word clone- sort of their moral values hijacking their brain?

  • I would not want a child that was a clone.  A lot of people spend their whole lives trying to be original… who would want to be a copy? 

  • Mother Teresa…

  • Mozart……..sigh!…..

  • I wouldn’t pick anyone cause I would want our kid to look like how God wants him to look.  Or like me. 

  • Martha Stewart or Betty Crocker (was she even a real person?). I would hire them to cook and clean for me. Child=Slave

  • hmmm that’s a  tough one..how about mixing  

    mix of  Graham Bell + Isac newton + Bill Gates + Beethovan(Inventor+Scientist+Business Geek+ Musician)

    whowwww!!! Think about the final product lol!!!

     

  • marilyn monroe

  • wow….Probably a person in the Bible……David, Boaz, Daniel….yea, Daniel

  • Gerard Way..

  • I want a girl..soo I ick….Kate Winslet

  • why don’t you ever answer your own posts?

  • Cloning would make people less unique.   I’m against it.  

  • Oprah?

  • I’m gonna go with hmmm…
    Steve Martin, because he’s so funny.

  • Hugo Chavez.

    So at least there’d be one left after the CIA and Pat Robertson assasinate the democratically elected president of Venezuela.

  • Of course you Dan.  So the child can ask all these interesting questions.

  • I don’t know anyone famous (at least not personally), so there’s no way I could possibly know who would make a good choice.

  • For the sake of discussion….I would choose Mozart and/or  Andrew Lloyd Webber.

  • Keith Urban: talented, good looking, kind, works hard, genuine, looks you in the eyes when you talk to him….

    I’d be proud of a son like that!

  • I don’t think I’d want a clone. That would be weird.

  • Jesus Christ.

  • Good morning, Danny Boy. :-x (giggles like a schoolgirl).

  • I was so looking forward to Brad and Jennifer’s kids b/c you just know they;d be some of thge best looking kids on the planet.

    I think for cloning I’d have to go with someone good looking.  Being intelligent is only partially genes and partially environment, so if you clone someone who is smart the clone by not have the same level of intelligence.  Same thing for personality…  the clone could have a completely different personality b/c only partr of that is based on gentic material. 

    You know, I think Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are both good choices. 

  • Drakonskyr.

  • Superman…that would be pretty cool.

  • No one sexy!  I don’t want to put up with the fact that my daughter looks too good to pass up.  That would be sick.  But if I had a son, I would want him to be a clone of Anthony Hopkins.  He’s not that hot according to any girl I’ve ever met, but he is a deep thinker, and the best actor ever!

  • Probably Oprah.

  • probably someone smart who had a life changing invention

    so they could do it agian, but with something beeetter.

  • None. I wouldn’t want a clone of someone. I would want a child with their own unique personality.

  • Jesus.

    Here’s an interesting hypothetical… If we could somehow come across some of Jesus’s DNA, and some scientist made a clone of Jesus, how would that clone fit into the family hierarchy of God?

    You know, when I say things like that, I realize just how much my history of drug use has scrambled my brain…

  • I just wouldn’t get pregnant.  I wouldn’t want my child to be cloned.  I’d want him or her to be unique and special. 

  • Sandra Bullock. Think about it. She’s got a classic beauty, she’s bright but down to earth and a little dorky.

    Or Oprah. For the same reasons.

  • I don’t want a cloned child at all!  Too boring!  What if the child I would have had was going to do something that no one ever did, but couldn’t because I cloned them?  Each person is unique and special, and cloning would make the world very mundane and boring!

  • i wouldn’t want to clone my child…

  • I’d hate looking JUST like someone famous, having people tell me I look like Melissa Joan Hart everywhere I go is funny, because I just look similar- looking JUST like someone famous would be annoying.

     BUT, lol, if I were to do it, a girl would be Kate Beckinsale or Reese Witherspoon, and a boy would be Gerard Way or Zacky Vengeance.

     And dude, Angelina is just not attractive, I dunno what is up with Brad… Not to mention I think Jennifer Anniston would be cooler in person…

  • cloning is bad.

    angeline jolie is GORGEOUS!

  • Catherine Zeta-Jones

  • Cliche’ maybe…but I would pick Jesus.

  • i wouldn’t want someone famous, I would want a clone of my husband.

  • Definitely NOT someone I was attracted to because then that would mean I would be attracted (somewhat) to my own kid and that would freak me out.

    Someone smart and ingenious who would change the world–er maybe not on that large of a scale, but something like that.

    LOL

    ~Caroline~

  • that wouldnt be a good enough reason to not have sex and make babies the old fashion way.

  • Brad Pitt!!I watched “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”too…heehee^^

  • this guy i know named Dan..

  • Honestly, I wouldn’t my child to be a clone.. Hm..

  • I don’t get the hype about Brad Pitt, I think he’s not that hot actually. =) But hey, I’m too young to understand.

    If I were to make a clone, well if it were a girl, I’d say Christina Aguilera. Um.. for a boy… I don’t know.

  • gerard way!!

  • gerard way!!

  • Me.

  • Oprah.  

  • As I’ve been jotting down ideas, you keep popping into my head.  Maybe I’ve become your clone?  Hope you don’t mind?

  • My other beautiful, God given, children. So, There!!!

  • You.

  • zooey deshkenel. she’s just naturally pretty, but not overwhelming or anything.

    have you read “the big book of if”? it’s all these life questions. much like the one’s you have on here. if you havent, i can give you some of them.

  • I wouldn’t even go there.

  • I’d want my kids to look like me and whoever my husband is….god help them heh.

    I think Angelina Jolie is soooooo hot.

  • Hmm…I would want my child to be a clone of my husband and I’s best attributes.

  • hmm..myself of course^_^

  • probably Johnny Depp, i think he’d be a cool friend

  • I would not want to clone Jesus because I could not live up to His expectations so maybe Francis Schaeffer

  • Angelina Jolie is hot!!!

    Clone of me!!!

    Have you seen Aeon Flux??

  • I can’t think of anyone famous I would want for my child? I would say Jesus, but there is only ONE God.

  • paul walker.

  • Sean Connery – but there would be problems, I’m sure.

  • idk but i think it would be………..mini me. muahahahahahahah muahahahahahahaha

  • Drew Barrymore if it was a girl, and I think I would go with Sean Connery, I just love him.

  • I’d go with Orlando Bloom for a boy (he’s sooo good-looking) and… Alanis Morsette {sp?}. She’s pretty.

    *jayne

  • saul williams or hunter s. thompson (if it’s not too late to harvest)

  • Basically, cloning is bad… very bad… it’s like copying your own like paper. 

    I prefer having my kids if I could have one, like my husband and me…

    nahh… famous people doesn’t have anything positive to contribute except for gossip and paparazies…

  • next child? can’t i get through highschool first?

    and i really don’t know.

  • I would clone elvis, so people stop lying about him….

  • no clones. please.

  • dave chappelle

  • I dunno. I’d make some of my favorite book characters real. Which isn’t really cloning.

  • Marilyn manson or the drummer from fall out boy.lol

  • joey jordison, lead drummer of Slipknot.

  • My idol, Audrey Hepburn. This world absolutely, 100% needs another Audrey Hepburn, the most caring, powerful, and beautiful woman ever with dignity and class. (Of course the child would have to be a girl.)

  • I wouldn’t want my next child to be a clone- I’d rather have him/her have natural features.
    But if I had to pick, NOT JESSICA ALBA. JESSICA ALBA= EEEW.
    ++ I would probably pick someone like Tom Cruise- attractive and talented.

  • Hmm… I choose not to clone.  I don’t believe that cloning someone will produce the exact same person as the person you are trying to clone; it’s simply too much to hope for. 

  • what? dude, no.

  • Francis Crick

    Erika

  • I have no clue.  No one is innocent enough.

  • Josh Groban

  • my wife

  • No clone! (Send in the Clones?)

  • I would like them to be cloned from someone like Winston Churchill or President Bush. Someone who did something worthwhile with their lives. although I would want my kids to be clones of anyone. too much pressure.

  • I dont care what my child looks like but I wouldn’t mind getting hitched with jessica alba’s clone!  or her not even her clone.

  • i’m sorry but cloning is just never a good choice, besides cloning bill gates or anyone else who is famous, does not mean that the clone will have all of the person’s personality traits, intelligence, attractiveness and so forth. those are all affected throughout life to make an ongoing changing picture…

  • Shakespeare. Definitely.

  • I wouldn’t want a clone..the best clone is a new individuals who is born with unique characteristics….have 2 of something is not good
