He’d better not clone Yoko.

Unfortunately, he would look like this:

Please don’t...I’d rather have a wooly mammoth.

Michael Zuk, who paid $33,000 for the tooth at an auction three years ago

Did it come with a "Certificate of Authenticity" ?

Imagine if he actually does it and the baby looks like Ringo Starr ?

Just who would sell John Lennon tooth and how did they come to own it ?

When my next tooth falls out I'm putting it up on Ebay as an Elvis tooth ...I'd be a millionaire...: )

[blueplum]

Soylent Lennon ?

[Repeal The 17th]

I can clone John Lennon...
Just imagine...

[x1stcav]

Yeah, but what could he do with some tissue from Yoko’s....

[ArmstedFragg]

“Imagine there’s no molar....”

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Yes, but will it be able to sing Instant Karma?

[SampleMan]

That’s nothing. I can clone John Lennon from a dog turd.

"The Boys From Liverpool" ?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Why. Just scour the ghetto back alleys in NYC or SF and pick one ... why waste a lot of money create one.

[Gay State Conservative]

Maybe *this* one will obey the INS deportation orders he received,obedience which very probably would have helped him avoid being murdered at the corner of 72nd St and Central Park West.

[GeronL]

Can he clone someone more useful?

It's not a good idea even if the tooth didn't have any decay. Unintended consequences like the baby aging fast to catch up with the age of the tooth when extracted.

This brings to mind something I saw on yt a couple weeks ago. Involved the Titanic and recovery and burial of the bodies.

I thought certain parts of the body would last like bones, hair and teeth. Well maybe the teeth. But they tried to ID 3 bodies in a cemetery in Halifax and found that the graves of their test cases were flooded destroying everything since 1913. But enough of the Romanov bodies DNA survived to ID all but one even though sulphuric acid had been poured over them and they were in poor condition. Now their shallow graves may have drained better; I don't know much about it, obviously.

The mystery baby, they found one piece of bone. They were able to extract enough from that poor sample to prove its parents were not who they suspected but did prove it was a child (boy) of Finnish parents.

The main thing was that I guess if your grave floods and any DNA is needed, you are toast. Er slime. I think washed out graves are fairly common and don't know how reliable the vaults are.

It is also my understanding that cremains provide no DNA that can be sequenced even though some bits of bone are present. Kind of ghoulish to think about.

Why the hell would we want that loon around, again?

I'm of the Beatle generation and I thought they sucked.

I still threaten murder for anyone playing that damned "I wanna hold your hand." crap, among a few others.

If he’s going to clone anyone, clone Elvis. Even lennon said “if there had been no Elvis Presley, there would have been no john lennon.

[Thorliveshere]

Why didn’t people support his son, Julian (a carbon copy if I ever saw one!), who is a fantastic musician! Don’t know why we would need a clone.
