Questions

1. Are all the pluripotent stem cells the same? For example, is the stem cell from my skin as same as the stem cell from my hair? Is possible to exchange stem cell? Can I save my stem cell right now, and my grandson use my stem cell in the future?

2. If they use the clone technology, they still need to produce a embryo, and the embryo still have to grow up in a human body, however; in the movie, they did not explain this step and new clones just jump out of a bag of water! Is is possible that the clone technology can get to the stage that they can eliminate the process of putting the embryo back to a human body?

3. If human can start live much longer or eventually live forever, is there enough natural resources to be used for human beings? If everyone can live so long or forever, would they still have the desire to produce next generation? Then the entire human beings will be against the Revolution theory because human can only degenerate or remain the same.

4. Where can those clones go when they get out of the "island"? Their intelligence level is as same as a child, and there is already another he or she somewhere on earth. Also according to the movie, those clones are either very rich or powerful! Then it will definitely become a social issue because we definitely do not want to have two same president or two Justin Bibber... My question is how to settle down all the clones?
