Bernann McKinney from the U.S. holds one of five cloned pitbull puppies during her first meeting with them at the Seoul National University Hospital for Animals in Seoul, South Korea, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008. McKinney has received five baby dogs — copies of her beloved late pitbull 'Booger'- from a South Korean biotech firm in what it calls the world's first commercial canine cloning service.

Anyway, what is she going to do with five genetical copies of her wonderful and unique dog that no other dog could ever substitute? Experiments? Raise one together with monkeys, lock one away in a box, feed one with pie, feed one with human flesh, scream at one constantly in a high pitched voice... and wait which one will resemble her dead dog most?

The woman sold her house, spent all the money from that, and spent another 50 grand to clone her dog.

She's gonna die broke and miserable. And her dogs will probably eat her body before she's found.

Because even if the dog is an exact genetic copy, it's not the same dog--not the same person. She could have moved on and accepted that there can only ever be one of someone, and just got a dog from the shelter. She could have saved a life instead of spending thousands to play copy-cat.

Put it this way: If your mother/sibling/other close relative or friend died, would you clone him or her to get them back? It wouldn't seem right, correct? Because they wouldn't be the same person, wouldn't have the same personality (which relies deeply on exactly how they were raised and what they've experienced in their life, not genetics. Same goes with dogs.) It just wouldn't be the same. To quote (and I'm not religious, but this basically describes the whole thing): "You can't play God."

This lady is fail incarnate and one of the most selfish pieces of crap ever. There's nothing special about the dog she owned other than the fact that it was hers, and she loves herself so goddamn much. Enjoy being homeless with your same-as-any-other-pitbull puppies, you dumb cunt.

You can definitely play God. Humanity has been playing god since we touched fire, since we hit the agricultural revolution, built enormous structures, and broke the barriers of our own fucking planet. Playing god is what we're good at.

Some researchers are on the verge of creating full-blown synthetic life (Craig Venter and Mycoplasma laboratorium). Others constantly alter genes in various organisms for our benefit. We even changed wild animals' physiology by artificially accelerating evolution. If that's not playing god, I don't know what is. And we are fucking awesome at playing god, for better or worse.

"McKinney, 57, a screenwriter who taught drama at U.S. universities, said she was especially attached to Booger because he saved her life when she was attacked by another dog three times his size. The incident resulted in her left hand being severely injured, and injured her leg nerves and stomach. Doctors later reconstructed her hand and she spent part of her recovery in a wheelchair."

This would have been the perfect opportunity to claim her face got mauled by a dog and get free plastic surgery.

LONDON: The former US beauty queen who drew headlines after mortgaging her home to have her dead dog cloned was outed by a British newspaper yesterday as the same woman who, 30 years ago, fled England after being charged in a bizarre sex crime case.

Bernann McKinney, 57, became the first paying customer of the commercial cloning industry this week when she had her beloved pitbull Booger cloned in South Korea. She appeared in media reports around the globe with her five cloned puppies.

But Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported yesterday that the woman shared a striking resemblance, a similar history and the same last name as the pit bull-loving former US beauty queen Joyce McKinney.

That Ms McKinney thrilled British tabloid readers in 1978 when she faced charges over kidnapping a 110kg male Mormon missionary, Kirk Anderson, whom she chained to a bed with mink handcuffs and forced to have sex. She famously said of her victim: "I loved him so much that I would ski naked down Mt Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to."

The pair had a brief affair when they were both studying drama in the US. A few years later, Ms McKinney, then 28, tracked Mr Anderson, 21, to Ewell in Surrey, where he had been posted as a missionary, and kidnapped him.
>> Anonymous
After failing to persuade him to marry her and father her children, she donned see-through lingerie and forced him to have sex with her, reportedly resolutely overcoming his Mormon chastity belt. He finally escaped and Ms McKinney was arrested.

Mr Anderson told a court: "I couldn't move. She grabbed the top of my pyjamas and tore them from my body until I was naked. I didn't wish it to happen. I was extremely depressed and upset after being forced to have sex."

Ms McKinney's counsel said of Mr Anderson: "Methinks the Mormon doth protest too much ... you have seen the size of Mr Anderson and you have seen the size of my client."

The Times reported yesterday that after three months on remand, Ms McKinney was released on bail because of failing mental health. She fled the country using a false passport.

She was eventually tracked down and appeared topless in magazines before the authorities caught up with her, but Britain never attempted to extradite her.

The Daily Mail reported yesterday that Joyce McKinney resurfaced in 1984, when she was arrested near Salt Lake City Airport, where Kirk Anderson was working. In her car, police found rope and handcuffs.

By the late 1990s, Joyce McKinney was back in her home state of North Carolina, dogged by ill health and often in a wheelchair, living on benefits in a remote holding with three ponies and a fiercely devoted pit bull called Hamburger for company.

"I love those pit bulls," she explained. "They're such sympathetic animals."

When Bernann McKinney was contacted by the Daily Mail this week and asked if she was Joyce McKinney, she snapped: "Are you going to ask me about my dogs, or not? Because that's all I'm prepared to talk to you about." As the paper reported, "Not exactly a flat-out denial."

A Joyce Bernann McKinney is registered as living in Avery County, North Carolina - birthplace of the Mormon sex slave kidnapper, it reported.

But when contacted by The Times yesterday, Bernann McKinney denied she was the same woman. "That's garbage, that's rot," she said. "If that is what you want to talk about, then I don't want to talk to you."

The resemblance is uncanny, just add 30 years of ugly and there you have it.

Either way, the women is retarded. I miss dearly the dogs I've lost over the years, and my heart sinks when I think of eventually loosing the ones I have now. No dog will ever replace them, though, even a genetic copy.

Also, anyone who names their dog 'Booger' needs to be drug out and shot.

Cloning animals should be reserved for nearly extinct animals or breeders who want to further a unique trait. Period.

Oh, and meat.

Only god can give the gift of life. We just create the vessels, god creates the wind.

So yeah, for all those people saying "we're playing god", I use the above on goddy do gooders who think cloning is an act of evil sin. Seriously, how can you trump that?

If god didn't want it to live, it wouldn't live. So thus bring on the Human Animal hybrids, if they are so vile by god's standards, he wouldn't allow the spark of life catalyse within the embryos and they'd be reabsorbed back into the body.

BTW, I'm Agnostic

Well they have to start practising somewhere, may as well get people to fork over cash to practise on, instead of wasting millions trying to extract sheet fark all DNA from some fossilised bone or some shit.


One good thing I see coming out of this is that we'll have a nice controlled case to see whether or not personality is something that is in your DNA or is learned through life. We all have our own assumptions currently, but assuming this women doesnt completely fuck up the puppies, the results I reckon will rock a number of people's theories as to behavioural development.

>>On a side note, Brenann McKinney has said that she'll file a $10 million libel/slander lawsuit if anyone mentions Joyce McKinney and her being the same person.

Oops. I just made the comparison.

I find it funny the bitch can think she can avoid what she's done in the past just by ignoring it and saying "its all in the past".

Heck, I could pop down to 7-11 now and make myself rich. When the cops come around to arrest me, "its all in the past, move on and get over it".

I mean, if it was a case that she had served her time and made amens with justice, then yes, I'd be on her side saying "its the past, move on, she's learnt from it". But she's just blatantly trying to avoid it.

Twins are clones.

Separately adopted and raised twins have been studied extensively by psychologists analyzing inherited vs. learned traits.

A surprising amount of behavior turns out to be inherited rather than learned.

Volumes have been written on this subject and taught in Psychology 101 courses for many decades.

Somehow, you missed it.

No, retard, because with selective breeding the male and female only pass half their genes and the combination the offspring acquire is random, hence "having to rely on chance", whereas cloning results in a genetic copy of the specimen. HURRRRRRR.
