Soylent Green is an old Movie. The people that die or are helped to die.. are made into basically green crackers... which everyone is eating without knowing that it is people.. until the end.

I am not a big fan of cloning, I to believe that Clayton should have to run a barrel pattern before I fork out a dollar. Then again I think they are waiting to see if his prodigy can is the proof in the pudding so to speak. It takes to long from the time a mare is bred to the time you get results to see if your horse is a winner. In a business sense you need to get some foals on the ground now not wait until your stallion is trained and won some dollars himself, try and capitalize on the cloing factor to begin with. When your running a business making desicions based on the all mighty dollar (why else would you clone) consideration of overpopulation and basic horse welfare are not one of your primary concerns. If the horses were not in demand no one would pay the $4000, but you know soemone is looking for that next big money winner. Maybe this clone with give them the winning edge, it's a gamble like any race. Personally, cloning is very wrong on so many levels. I've learned in the barrel horse world that most people won't breed to Clayton regardless. Charmayne is not even planning on running him at all. So, she is asking 4000.00 on a whim that his foals might run like scamper did. Scamper ran the way he did because he had HEART, pure and simple. Nothing else. Scampers sire or dam have never produced another like him nor anything even remotely decent. Scamper was a freak of nature, a wonderful freak of nature, and I do not believe that Clayton will ever produce anything even worth talking about. But thats JMO.
