    A clone is a physical replica, that’s it. If they wanted one of those they could just get a Belushi.

    Wow… and I thought that if any murderous dictator would be cloned it would have been Hitler. So much for “The Boys From Brazil.”

  3. Evilcor   22 years ago

    Okay children, access your holo-primers to index 86-504 and read along as we trace the history of medicine from the germ theory of disease to the first human clone. . .

  4. Tim Stich   22 years ago

    As I recall, all of the Hitler clones in “Boys from Brazil” just wanted to smoke out some righteous bud and get an I-pod for their birthdays. Right? Well that’s what would happen today with Stalin clones.

  5. James   22 years ago

    Tim,

    So Hitler was a libertarian?

  6. Kevin Carson   22 years ago

    Somebody’ll probably try to get some DNA off that icepick and clone Trotsky.

  7. LM   22 years ago

    this would indeed be a most fascinating experement reguarding human behaviour and nation…whether it is completely genetic, or if enviroment plays a key role. Being raised by the local Communist Party, however, the result is likely to be the same.

    Best leave that DNA untouched.

    It’s never right to say always, and always wrong to say never.
