The dentist who purchased John Lennon's rotten molar for $31,000 at a 2011 auction now has plans for the tooth: He's getting it genetically sequenced in the hopes of cloning the musician, who died in 1980

[longfellow]

plus he would need the other beatles teeth.

Should we just Let It Be?

That scene in Boys from Brazil when the aging Nazi tells the 12 year old Hitler clone of his destiny to restore the Third Reich to its former glory, and all the Hitler lookalike says is,

“Hey man, are you for real?”

[I want the USA back]

For what purpose? Does he expect to OWN the resulting offspring?

Cloning is an abomination.

Heh, heh. That reminds me of one. What do you call a dog with wings?

Linda McCartney.

Just what the world needs, another communist........

[JaguarXKE]

What if there was a mixup at the dentist and he ended up cloning Yoko!

Imagine! We might get a Beatle who sings the lyrics forward instead of backwards.

—who died in 1980—

Uhhh, he didn’t just “die”—he was murdered in 1980.

Don’t they make editors anymore?

I’ll know that his clone has been successful when I see the Tooth Fairy singing Strawberry Fields Forever.

[Carriage Hill]

I’m still looking forward for YO1 to assume room temp, ASAP.

[eyedigress]

Penny Lane would be more appropriate, you know, the whole face in a jar by the door stuff.....

[Mike Darancette]

Raise the clone as a Conservative Christian; That will show them.

[unlearner]

Turn me on dead man?
Revolution Number 9

[a fool in paradise]

Is there enough of Chapman's DNA on his signed copy of Double Fantasy?

[a fool in paradise]

But what it he turns out like THIS?

[a fool in paradise]

Or he’ll have two Dolly the Sheep that just happen to look like John and Paul.

[a fool in paradise]

What if there was a mixup at the dentist and he ended up cloning Yoko!

OH NO!
