Menage à Trois Bingo

Oh, come on - don't you know that the finger of God touches each little creature and imbues it with the spark of life? Cloning is just an affront to the miracle of creation that is God's gift of life. Even if we just brutally break the little chicken's neck to make some yummy fried chicken.

Because cloning Yummy animals would lead to cloning people which would lead to people marrying their dog or their mailbox and then we'd all be in hell without our handbasket, of course. It's a first step on the slippery slope towards not discriminating against people who don't love Jesus more than everything else....and we can't have that now, can we? Not in Presiden't Bush's America.

The part that my-ignorant-self is currently not comprehending about the cloning is: how the hell is it cheaper? I mean, my current understanding is you still have to grow the animal in a manner roughly similar to the way you used to, but only now it's got the same DNA as some other animal instead of only half its DNA. Last time I checked (admittedly five years ago), the process of inserting the DNA into the egg was decidedly non-trivial. So, where's the savings?

And the "trump" and "Fiona" part is clicking for me now. I never actually read the Zelazny books, but I did listen to them in audio book form. Very cool! :-)
