Would you Sell your DNA ?

I've recieved this rather intriguing email entitled "American FDA agrees on cloned food" ! It seems that the FDA is going to approve food from cloned animals. Which is a bit confusing ? Is there a problem with this in the first place ?:o I mean what's so wrong about eating cloned animals and crops ?

Well, apparently eating clones makes some people uncomfortable. Their thinking might be within the following lines:

“I sure enjoy eating beef, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating beef from that other cow.”

Eating clones got me thinking about the intellectual property of human supermodel DNA "Bloody hell ! How random was that?". At some point it seems inevitable that billionaires will start cloning supermodels so they can grow their own girlfriends. Someday it will surely be legal in some country. "hmmmmmmmmmm, scratching my chin while thinking" :P :D

If you were a supermodel who had wasted all of your money on various addictions and surgeries and you were now too old to model, and some billionaire offered you a hundred million dollars for your DNA, would you sell it? Assume you know in advance that the billionaire is a disgusting pig who will be raising your clone to be a brainwashed sex slave.

Assume also that your clone won’t be forced to do anything against her will. She will simply be raised to believe the billionaire is a godlike creature and the rest will happen naturally. No laws will be broken. And she will live like a princess except for the part about being a clone mistress to an old, rich fat guy. In other words, the quality of her life will be in the top 10% of the planet if you consider the wretchedness the average human’s life around the world.

So this leaves me with the following question, Would you sell your DNA for $100,000,000?

Penny for your thoughts ;)

hmmmm, not sure that i would. it just seems creepy to me... to think of living after i died and such. i'm not sure that i believe that life was meant to be such. i believe in life after death, but not like this.

i also have a prob w/ cloning... only because i just think we're going too far. but i'm sorta religious or freaky in regards to this stuff.
