No, I Cannot Clone You.

Posted in Personal at 11:14 am by Abbas

Something really annoying is when I inform people of what I do (DNA analysis), and what field I work in (bioinformatics/biotechnology/bioengineering) and the first question they ask is, “Can you clone me?” or “So did you clone any people?” It was funny at first, but now its annoying, no offense. For your information we have better things to do than clone you! And you don’t only clone people, you can clone almost anything for anything. On a side note, there is a project, where they are asking for people that have at least a college education and professional degree to volunteer to get cloned.

    thats funny. I am in the same field. I always get asked medical questions. I dont understand why people think I am able to diagnose them. Friends always ask me stuff like: what does it mean if my pee is cloudy? I am like: I dont know go ask your doctor. There is a reason they make all the money the do and the reason why I make what I do.

    um, what doyou mean the bioinformatics field of study has better things to devote its time to than cloning me? I don’t think you know who you’re talking to or what you’re talking about hmph!

    anyway re the volunteer clone project… now just anyone can get cloned? like we need more freaks in the world. thanks for duplicating the problem. pffft… and you people think you have it ALL figured out *rolls eyes*
