Melbourne, Australia- Australia’s lower house of parliament has approved new laws that will allow embryonic stem cells to be cloned for research. This has caused a worldwide uproar at the idea of cloning anything Australian.
“I think I can speak for everyone when I say cloning Australian genes, in any form, would be a horrible, horrible mistake,” said Peter Dickens UN representative. “We are looking towards the advancement of civilization, not trying to dumb it down.”
Australia has been heavily criticized in the past for outputs such as wombats, Aborigines, the word ‘bloke,’ and most of all, Paul Hogan. Although the prospect of cloning Australian stem cells is alarming, some experts like Lenny Kadlec of the Americans For Chemical Testing on Australians (AFCTA), believe there is no reason to be concerned.
“Come on, we’re talking about Australians, here. Why don’t we ask Mexico for help with space exploration, while we’re at it. It ain't gonna happen. What we need to do is focus our efforts on Australian birth control, if anything. Cloning, ha, that’s rich.”
Comments from Australian officials on the issue were not immediately understood.
