Cloning Humans Could Start a Massive War.

noknowes

Lieutenant Commander
A doctor called Panayiotis Zavos has transferred cloned human embryos into the wombs of four women. Dr Zavos claimed in an interview with The Independent that he had created 14 cloned human embryos and transferred 11 of them into the wombs of the four women, who wanted to give birth to cloned babies.

This is very worrying as it is only a matter of time before Hitkler will be cloned.

Although Hitler cloning has been discussed before it was not realistic but this development brings it nearer to reality.

Also something people have failed to realize if you can clone 1 Hitler why not clone 10,000 Hitlers or 10 million Hitlers or even a super army of Hitlers?

The Aryan Brotherhood and other white supramists are desperate to clone Hitler as it would lead to a massive rise in their membership and Nazism would rise like a phonenix from the flame in Europe and in America the Ku Kluc Klan, to again cause a massive race war between whites and blacks leading to a world war fought with nukes.

As the white race has vastly more nukes and blacks hardly any it would be a massive victory for Nazism.Also the blacks in White countrys would not fit and would be enslaved again or killed.
The remaining blacks having no recourse would then fight a gureilla war against whites.

The British BNP leader Peter Griffen is already in Europe wanting to call British Asians foreign racials.

This would mean African Americans would be called foreign racials too.

I am white by the way.
 
Hitlers rise to power had more to do with the economic situation in Germany than with any inherent personal magnetism. The world is radically different in any case.
 
This is silly, Hitler was the way he was because of his life experiences and education and nothing to do with genetics. There's no reason a cloned Hitler couldn't become the nicest feller on the planet or become an idiot who doesn't know how to wipe his own ass.
 
Don't worry... to get ten million they'd have to clone clones, and everyone knows that a copy of a copy isn't as sharp as the original. The result of this would be that you'd get ten million bigger idiots and even greater failures than the original. Remember, he went into politics because he couldn't even hang wallpaper worth a damn.

Hey.. what's that say about politicians today? :eek: :guffaw:
 
Nobody's approached it yet, but this has all of the possibilities of turning into a TNZ thread with the racial overtones. Let's ignore those and try to not let it go there, shall we? :techman:

Quoted for truth. An army made of Hitlers would not be terribly formidable either - he was not exactly superman, nor were any of the other leading Nazis.

Key word: Claims.

Oh my, the tired old "someone is planning to clone Hitler" argument. :rolleyes:

On 30 April 1945, after intense street-to-street combat, when Soviet troops were within a block or two of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler committed suicide, shooting himself in the mouth while simultaneously biting into a cyanide capsule.[269][270] Hitler's body and that of Eva Braun (his mistress whom he had married the day before) were put in a bomb crater,[271][272] doused in gasoline by Otto Günsche and other Führerbunker aides, and set alight as the Red Army advanced and shelling continued.[269]
On 2 May, Berlin surrendered. In the postwar years there were conflicting reports about what happened to Hitler's remains. After the fall of the Soviet Union, however, it was revealed from records in the Soviet archives that the bodies of Hitler, Eva Braun, Joseph and Magda Goebbels, the six Goebbels children, General Hans Krebs and Hitler's dogs, were secretly buried in graves near Rathenow in Brandenburg.[273] In 1970, the remains were disinterred, cremated and scattered in the Elbe River by the Soviets.[274] According to the Russian Federal Security Service, a fragment of human skull stored in its archives and displayed to the public in a 2000 exhibition came from the remains of Hitler's body and is all that remains of Hitler. The authenticity of the skull has been challenged by many historians and researchers.[275]

Assuming the above is true, fat chance of cloning Hitler.

As the white race has vastly more nukes and blacks hardly any it would be a massive victory for Nazism.Also the blacks in White countries would not fit and would be enslaved again or killed.
The remaining blacks having no recourse would then fight a guerrilla war against whites.

I corrected a myriad of your spelling errors. Perhaps you should spend your time looking for a constructive activity rather than these dystopian type posts. :vulcan:
 
Besides, I doubt there's any surviving viable genetic material from Adolf Hitler that could be used to clone him in any case. (EDIT: Oops, John Picard just beat me to the punch. True, theoretically there could be blood or other samples that were taken from him before his death, but nobody at the time would've been aware of the possibility of human cloning so there would've been no reason for anyone to preserve the material sufficiently to ensure the viability of its DNA -- particularly since no one even suspected DNA was involved in heredity until 1943 and it wasn't confirmed until 1952.)

The posters above are right. The fictional conceit of a clone as an exact duplicate right down to the personality is just that: pure fiction. A clone is an offspring rather than a copy. Its genes are the same, but genes are just one component of what makes individuals who they are. Epigenetic factors that we're only beginning to comprehend guarantee that even genetically identical individuals won't necessarily develop the same way physically, and of course an offspring (genetically identical or not) would have a different upbringing, a different environment, a different set of life experiences than the forebear. A cloned son or daughter might have nearly the same face and voice as his or her parent, but they wouldn't be the same person any more than a parent and child ever are, and even less than identical twins are.
 
In all likelihood, the worst things a cloned Hitler would become would be an average soldier or a substandard painter.
 
Okay, let's turn the topic away from Hitler. Somebody's always going to bring up the "cloning Hitler" or "cloning Einstein" or pick an historical figure argument.

Taking the genetic pattern for an average soldier on the battlefield today, how viable might cloning be in producing an army for the future? How much does nature versus nurture factor in?

Well good athletes have special types of muscle that burn oxygen better or something and it's all to do with genetics. I'm sure by cloning someone who is physically superior to others through genetics could create a formidable army if the person being cloned was superior in many factors.
Let us a build a storm trooper army!
 
I am really tired of the lack of understanding of the science of cloning. People confuse the Sci-Fi representation that a clone is an exact duplicate, while in real life, a close is merely a construction from DNA rather than a sperm and egg.

Basically speaking, all offspring are clones of the mother and father because of the shared DNA. Just because a mother/father has excellent physical traits does not mean they will always be passed to the offspring. So, any talk of making "super soldiers" based on someone such as Arnold Schwarzenegger is, IMHO, a bunch of silly jibber-jabber.
 
Have any of these cloned humans been proven to be clones, and have any been born yet? Have any of them been diagnosed with any birth-defects?

From 1 master cd you can press endless cd copies.From master DNA of Hitler you could do the same and not clone clones at all.

A single Hitler hair IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.HE WROTE BOOKS.
HE PAINTED pictures.Skin Flakes would have been trapped in the paint.Skin flakes trapped in the pages of the book allowing recovery.I hear dinosaur dna trapped in amber could be used to resurrect Mammoths.A dentist may still have his milk teeth.
 
The Russians and Chinese have been making clones for almost 30 years now. This is not a big story.

:guffaw:

I agree

:guffaw:

Infact, maybe :wtf: and :eek: and a hint of :lol: before a liberal sprinkling of :guffaw:

Cloned Hitler :guffaw:

Would they clone his hatred of the money lenders too and that nasty vegetarian streak. :guffaw:

Maybe they could scratch around around for the DNA of a few million desperate and impoverished middle class people to give him a blank cheque in exchange for a promise of a better future and something to point their blame at to clone too. Maybe the past decade was infact a clone of the twenties. OMG, the roaring naughties, the hungry teens...its happening again :eek:

Honestly, is there really nothing else to worry about?
 
The doctor in the article did nothing more than artificial twinning. They have been doing this with other mammals since the 70's.


The only way cloning would start a war would be if they could find a way to grow adults in short order (under a year) and transfer artificial memories into them, kinda like an instant army.

Cloning today takes the same amount of time to grow a clone to adult hood as it would a regular human.
