Who would you clone?

It 2012.

Scientists discover a way to breed a dead human (using recovered DNA) with a living person, giving them offspring.

You are given the choice of whose DNA should be disseminated throughout the genepool, as it will be made freely available in spermbanks.

I would choose William James Sidis.
IQ estimated at 250-300, and he never bred.
I want a generation of supersmart children, and I want it now!

Surely the white trash lab rat would bring the IQ down by a good hundred points or so - no real gain.

I would clone a new Pele and make him be born in Gort so he qualifies to play for us.:cool:

Abi · 28-03-2009 09:21PM

Fundamentally flawed thread OP. None of us shall be around after 2012.

Incidently, if we are- then myself of course

For soccer or gaelic

Off hand, maybe Anne Frank

I would clone Beyonce and go all Fritzl on her ass :pac:

Bill Hicks. The world needs him now more than ever.

Rocky Balboa 2 · 28-03-2009 09:28PM

4 hands..if 2 get tired..the other 2 will CUM in handy

Dartz · 28-03-2009 09:33PM

the only thing I'd clone are Credit Cards and Bank cards.

galwayrush · 28-03-2009 09:38PM

I was going to suggest a lot of talented musicians, but sadly they probably wouldn't make it against today's Style over Talent mime artists.

I'd clone Fritzl. He could tell me where he went wrong so I'd never get caught.

Heath Ledger, so we could all admit that The Dark Knight wasn't that great

I wouldn't. He died relatively young(possible genetic fault?), accomplished little enough of note, seemed to be obsessive and withdrew from society and didn't even reproduce as you mentioned . A generation of aspergers types may not be the way to go.

I wouldn't judge it by IQ. Imagination and drive is more important. The worlds full of high IQ types that nobody has ever heard of. I mean I apparently have( or had before beer came into my life anyway:D) one higher than Einstein, yet nobody knows who the hell I am, so....

DaVinci I would go for I suppose, if you could isolate it. Perceptive, intelligent and amazingly imaginative. Though if being gay does have a genetic link then we'd have one generation of geniuses, but it may get tricky after that:)(though IVF...) Newton another one though again most likely gay and as mad as a hatter to boot

Picasso actually. Amazing imagination. I'd always go for imagination. These people come up with the mad crazy and useful stuff, the high IQ geeks can then make it work.

Plus cloning is all very well, but without the same kind of upbringing as the original, maybe nothing would come of it?

I didn't pick her for her writing skills, I picked her off hand, so maybe she have a chance of a better life.

Eh you know cloning won't recreate that person? Just their likeness.

Send him to work and to deal with all the mundane crap in life, while i lie in bed all day, sit in the pub, go to the bookies, play PS3 etc.

Work sounds like a better option tbh.

I'd clone Saddam Hussein and make him our Minister for Health. He embodied the kinds of can-do attitude, bold leadership and sexy animal magnetism that we need to sort out our health service.

Abraham Lincoln

I don't know why
