\nbiologists (or at least my
\nturned out to be so different. Despite the fact that CG has made us
\nassume that all clones<\/a> of, say,
\na notorious bounty hunter<\/a> would
\nlook exactly like, say, the same notorious bounty hunter, it turns out
\nthat complex organisms such ourselves are, well, more complex. Despite
\nthe vast differences that can arise from environmental influences,
\nduring early development, certain chromosomes turn off in different
\ncells, apparently at random, resulting in a vastly different genetic
\nexpressions.\n<\/p>\n
\ncell is apparently very bad, and so one switches off in cells early on.
\nResult:<\/b> a case of fraternal twins (sisters) with one being normal and
\nthe other being severely retarded because in one case, the “bad”
\nX-chromosome is active in the cells that become the brain, while the
\nother this is not the case. A textbook example involves, you guessed
\nit, calico cats where the different colorations arise from different
\nX-chromosomes be activated in the respective regions (note: all calico
\ncats are female).\n<\/p>\n
\nsince this shows that individual identity (and hence individual
\nbiological value) is not determined at conception.\n<\/p>\n
\nfor the book, but I think I’m just getting pissed at the media who
\ncan’t accurately report a technical story to save their miserable,
\nworthless lives.\n<\/p>\n
