Mike, does this bring about the possibility that we`re gradually edging ever closer to being able to clone perfect 17 year-old Pauline Hickey replicas whenever we fancy one ? (which for me of course would be 24 hours-a-day for all eternity ! ! !).
That is possibly one of the most dangerous questions I know. It invites disaster.

LJ - Your wish could come true in the near future.

We are getting closer and closer to Skynet. I am not scared... yet.
Matt - I forgot all about Skynet. I assume this is the one you are referring to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKYNET_(surveillance_program)
I don't even want to THINK about the problems this could cause!
Kathy - It would make a great SciFi movie, right? Except it would be REAL!
