Yup they are really clones, there are a few definitions of what a clone is. One of them fits identical twins.

Among the fraternals, the number was 22 percent, high enough above the background population rate to suggest that there was something distinctive in those families. The researchers found a very similar pattern with lesbians.
52% of identical (monozygotic) twins of homosexual men were likewise homosexual

11% of adoptive brothers of homosexual men were likewise homosexual

Bailey and Pillard (1993): occurrence of homosexuality among sisters
48% of identical (monozygotic) twins of homosexual women were likewise homosexual (lesbian)
16% of fraternal (dizygotic) twins were likewise homosexual
6% of adoptive sisters of homosexual women were likewise homosexual
Bailey, J. M. and D. S. Benishay (1993), “Familial Aggregation of Female Sexual Orientation,” American Journal of Psychiatry 150(2): 272-277.
Other studies found lower correlations, but the same pattern & conclusions, i.e. closest correlation for homosexuality in siblings goes: identical twin then fraternal twin then non twin.
Edit: Snny, identical twins are clones ^_^ just not manmade ones
Thanks for that. So it would appear that there may be a genetic element in homosexuality, which then may be effected by environment, then personal choice decides whether a person acts out their desires. See that makes sense.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
This thread is getting filled with illogical statements based on something that someone that is fat or gay said or prooven for his type of people in usa. This thread is ignoring almost everything logical anybody before that said and becoming something what you can call a thread where fat or gay people are trying to justify themself. And besides that its way off-topic.
Is embryonic stem cell research ethical ?

You need to read about different body types then. How is it that there are fathers then sons lacking in fat but eat lots of food and don't exercise? You think they both just take in bread and water?
Also stop equating obesity to gayetty. Gayetty involves a person's feelings. Obesity doesn't.

How can you extol the virtues of using logic, whilst at the same time totally ignore it yourself. Logic and indeed scientific method dictates that one observes, records and concludes. One does so without pre-conceptions.
Your method would appear to be, decide what I want to believe then totally ignore anything which contradicts it.
There is no excuse for it, only mitigation. Mitigation would be things like a, he's 14 or b, he's quite dense or c, he's a bigot and has no interest in looking at the evidence.

Bingo.
Pedophiliacks (by their very nature) have victims, homosexuals (on the surface)don't and that's why there will always be a separation in folk's minds science-wise.
Homosexuals say they can't help being homosexual. Pedophiles say the same. Even when threatened with jail time, etc.
Since everyone seems to boil everyone down to these two choices:
Born with it
Choose it
What say of pedophiles? Are they born pedos, or did they wake up one day and decide to be sexually attracted to kids.
I say it's neither. I'm not talking action. To act on what one feels is a choice.
What you feel is what you feel whether you act on it or not.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
Soo from now on everything is in genes you try to convince me, all is faith, nothing i choose.
Ok let me tell you what all you ignored:
Fat people can lose weight and thats enough of prove that it ain't genetical - Who is born with 200 kg ? Who stays fat when not eating ? (If you are born blind or you are born with one arm less, thats what ain't your faul)
You can't be gay from birth if you have women and another month men or you don't know. - They can't choose what they want soo how can it be from birth(what means it ain't in genes)
A child doesn't even know what sex is until he sees it in some magazine or on tv or parents tell him. - no he doesn't know, i didn't know what sex is.
Even the most popular gays like Freddie Mercury & George Michael had women. - you ignored this one also
Lets make bestiality, pedofilia, shoe licking, scat eating and all other fetishes also genetical than. - The only thing that is in genes is man+woman=baby
Im not religious but even in bible you have it written, there ain't no adam & adam
Who told women or men to dress like they do, parents did, tradition, trends and not genes. - Why do gays dress like women if they like only men ? Why
some gays dress like a women and some like a man in gay relationship if they don't like women ?
Try to give your baby away to some animals and you will see it behave like an animal. - such people can't talk human, don't dress like homos, don't act like homos and don't eat scat, don't lick shoes and don't like little children but maybe they are little bestiality. Why do you think that is ?
Another question: How can they test who is gay and who isn't, what kind of test is that ?
Another question: What are those genes that tell you are gay, can i see a example ? (Cause if we want to clone humans we need to know that)

i think they are clones at least according to the definitions i've seen on dictionary.com. It really just comes down to a difference in technique, since the result is effectively the same

You are looking at it all wrong and illogical. I didn't say all fat people are genetically fat.
People metabolize foods at different rates even with similar exercise schedules.
There's a skinny fella in my crew. He can eat as much as me and not get bigger.
Saying a fat person can lose weight does not prove your point. I can be born with 11 fingers and then have one removed. Wasn't genetics surely involved in determining the number of fingers I was born with?:ermm:

Nah, it's too confusatory.
Instead of "fuck-off" you're making a peace sign, and the glass is overfull by twice, but somehow not spilling.

I would agree also.
Nevertheless, I'm sure the scientific community will not be impressed.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
Hmm I interpreted it slightly differently, but i can see your point
Snny if you read this, any chance you could say if you believe there is an element of predisposition for sexual preference? (just out of interest)
J2 just to clarify, do you believe that no part of your sexual preference is determined by instincts hard wired into your genes? I mean at the most extreme level, i.e. even a preference for your own species...
Does this belief extend to other creatures, i.e. in non-social creatures there are still clear sexual signs (peacocks fanning their feathers) is none of the arousal or courtship there influenced by genes?

First, while I do not deign to lump humans in with the rest of the animal kingdom, it must be said that there is much more in common between the two than many would believe.
While I have heard and seen many incidences of "homosexual" behavior in the wild (and in the "tame" :P ), I have no recollection of ever hearing of any animal-that is to say, apart from humans-exhibiting exclusively "homosexual" tendencies.
Now comes the the gay community saying that they are "hard-wired" as homosexuals, and, sure enough, scientific "evidence" to that effect emerges shortly thereafter.
Can I dispute this theory?
No...I am not a scientist.
While my personal inclination is to denounce such conclusions as bullshit, I have made my peace with the fact of homosexuality, and while I am disposed to judge anyone over anything if the urge strikes me, I'll leave that particular issue to the hereafter.
I consider myself tolerant and I do not proselytize.
In any case, I'll have all the fun I can with the goofy "logic" employed by those who make the claim in one case, but not in the other.
A few innocently asked questions is all if takes, you see. :)

Really tired so I'm rambling a little (trying to explain how I see things), but here goes...
I think I originally picked up the notion of fluid sexuality in something Asimov, or maybe Arthur C. Clarke wrote. And it seem to make more and more sense to me the older I get, going by how I actually see people behave :dabs:
In that "spectrum of preferences" I referred to, I assume that such features as are gender-specific would have a place.
But it seems that such features are getting less and less distinct from other, non-gender specific qualities in prospective partners, the more elaborate the organism, as sex becomes less and less about just carrying on ones lineage. If that makes sense.
In insects, procreation is everything, in birds, like your peacocks, I believe it's about the same :unsure: So they would go for those features as are specific to the other gender. But looking at even "higher" life forms, sex is more and more becoming something other than just a means to further ones genes.
In primates it can be a method of establishing rank or tribal solidarity, or just a means for recreation, looking at chimpanzees.
And us humans, well, sex seems to be recreation more than anything, these days.
And while there probably are gender-specific factors we consider, again consciously or subconsciously, they are just part of what we look for. People most certainly prioritize differently when it comes to what they like in a partner.
What determines the "choices" we make, I can't say for certain. Something in our genes may certainly be calling, urging us to seek someone we can create the best possible offspring with. But who is to say that someone cannot possess a whole lot of the qualities wanted, except for that wee problem with them having the wrong set of genitalia?
It seems unlikely, I think, that there would be someone who only seeks qualities that are specific to one gender. And, in my thinking the nature of a creature's sexuality is determined by the function that entity's sexuality fulfills.
I do consider myself heterosexual, btw, but I honestly think that is much more nurture than nature.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
Indeed we humans are the only species that is having sex all year long and not thinking about anything else most of the time than to have some pleasure. Most of humans in specific cultures are looking for a partner that has some qualities that tv makes us belive that are needed. When you listening to everything some may say that is sexy you might end up loving clothes; the birth of fetish. I like the way how japanese people think, the type of blood decides most of things there.

Ahh.. I understand what you are saying now.
I don't believe the idea is to clone a bunch of body parts and put them together into one person. If that was the case, I would tend to agree with you.
As far as I understand it, there are 2 possibilities.
1- Clone an entire person all in one shot from the cells of one person.
2- Clone parts of a person to graft back on to them or another person or to grow materials in a person to fix parts that are wrecked.
I suppose another idea is to clone a whole persons body and put the original persons brain into it, but I think that will be a ways away:D
What they doing isn't really cloning, they are just injecting dna into core of cell. Not even twins are the same, but they are in the same matrix and that makes them similar when they get born, later on they go their way. While if you wanted to make a fotocopy of a human, that human wouldn't be the same person. It is only possible if he gets born again but than he dies and his dna is used to make a copy of him and that clone doesn't know he exsisted before, it is without meaning. Nobody can clone a grown human adult with his knowledge in his brain, cause if they wanted to do that they need to know first how cells split themself and than they would need to know how brain works. And later on you could ask yourself how to clone your memory and if you would be the same with no memories of anything you did before. Cause cloning isn't like transfering data to another disk. Your brain gets old and memories of your brain will never be possible to clone, you can have all replaced, but you will die because of your brain gets old. Cloning doesn't exsist and will never fully exsist, the only thing that exsist is injecting skin into cells and that what we call cloning these days. Nobody cloned anything that has a shape of grown human.

I'll tell you what cloning is shall I, because you seem to be failing to grasp the simple concept.
Cloning, by definition, is the creation of a genetically identical organism to another. How you do it, is irrelevent.
Identical twins are clones, because genetically, they have the same DNA.
You're talking about a special type of cloning which is popular in science-fiction, where a full-grown human is created almost instantaneously from the cells of another. Using current technologies, this is well beyond our capabilities, but this may not always be the case.
You're also talking about the transference of intelligence from one brain to another. Again, current knowledge of how the brain works means that this is not possible, but with a bit of effort, starting off with some very simple cases, I can see this happening in the future also.
For some brains this could be easier than others. ;)

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
I have never seen a twin that dressed the same like his twin, they don't even weight the same, they are similar, they are the same maybe only while in same egg in same mother. For example when you clone and take another mother its different enviorement in mother, it developes different altrough with same dna of someone that died, soo that you understand. ;)
We know that you can inject dna into cell but we don't know how the process work, we don't know absolutly nothing about how brain works, they arn't even sure where is the brain for speach if that even exsist. What scientists are doing now is not grown human cloning, don't mix that with embyonic stem cell research.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
Identical twins arn't really identical, like clones arn't machines, some may think its like in movies, when they all act and behave the same, for now its just experimenting with cells that they don't even understand fully. Some things will forever be Sci-fi and some will change a bit but not like in games. It will never be like printing a full-grown human like a papper soo you could live forever.

Re: Embyonic stem cell research
When I refered to cloning an entire person, I was not speaking of the near instant process on movies. I was speaking of growing it from day one throgh however many years needed to reach the age of the physical body being cloned.
I also am not refering to getting an identical person with respects to the brain and memories. I was saying you would clone the person (say from birth at the same or near the same time the original is born) and then if the original body is comprmised, transfering the hopefuly working brain into the other body.
Not realy an effective way to do things, but that is the type of cloning I was refering to.
