Aliens to Create Master Race of Colbert Clones
When I was in junior high, I tried to send my DNA to Cindy Crawford through the mail. But, as usual, Stephen Colbert's got me beat. He's sending his DNA into space. Here's hoping he doesn't get a cease and desist like I did.
In October, video game designer Richard Garriott will travel to the station and deposit Colbert's genes for an "Immortality Drive."
"I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one
step closer to my lifelong dream of being the baby at the end of 2001,"
Colbert said in a statement, referring to the 1968 landmark science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey."
…
"In the unlikely event that Earth and humanity are destroyed, mankind
can be resurrected with Stephen Colbert's DNA," Garriott said in a
statement. "Is there a better person for us to turn to for this
high-level responsibility?"
After the jump, Stephen interviews Professor Lee Silver about cloning and genetic engineering.
