Ruth Evans
Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for creating the first clone

Before I begin, I would like to thank my community, for all of the support--the neighbors and the  book store salespeople, the authors and the designers, the professors and the college students in my neighborhood. I also want to thank all of you for your acceptance and approval, despite my shady past.

I was 16 when my mother died, I was devastated. The only thing I had left of her was a sample of her DNA. But I turned that devastation into resolve. I would bring her back. I would make her come back to me. I spent years reading books on taxidermy and obsessing over the specifics of cloning. Sneaking into labs and cloning scared rats and unsuspecting squirells . It took me years to perfect this skill. Tens of years to find the little cinks, the problems that killed instead of cloned. All that time I had to dodge the naive anti-cloning laws...slipping from one lab to another when people started to suspect.

Finally I felt that his would work. I made an arrangement to fly out to a small island, deserted and unknown to most of humanity. I found implanted my mothers DNA into my womb and the rest is history.

I’ve raised her as my daughter, hoping she would become my mother. Hoping someday she would cradle my head in her lap and tell me she loved me like she used to. Too late,I realized that with all my hard work, my ideal destination would never come true. My mother’s DNA could never bring back my mother. Fraternal twins have the same DNA--but are their souls the same? Their minds the same? No.

All my mother’s DNA is at this point iis a spoiled teen. Do you think you would get a pacifist if you cloned Gandhi? A dictator if you cloned Hitler? No!

Don’t get me wrong, though. We have use of cloning.While the minds of two people with the same DNA may grow different, they could physically be very similar.  Imagine creating a cloned army, using the DNA of the strongest and strategic people? Or Genetically altering them to be stronger? Cloning people with the best IQs, and sure, they’ll act different than the people they are cloned of, but they may still give us great leads in the sciences. Imagine building a country or even a world with the most perfect, amazing, diverse people? Imagine making further breakthroughs in the art of cloning and genetically engineering.This could be the future of the United States of America! This could lead to world domination!

Will you take part in this? Will you join with me to build a new, modern world? Or will you hide, paranoid, afraid of what the future will hold? Clones are no different from twins, so how can it be wrong? And especially people who live short lives deserve a second chance to make a mark--with their DNA.

(Applause)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much!

I’m now cloning for 19.99, contact me if you are interested!
