Mr. de Niro is such a great actor, he hardly needs such hoaxes for convincing peole that he's Dr. Richard Wells. Just go see the movie, you will be all the more convinced of the existence of the institute, given how far Mr. de Niro goes inside his characters.
Come on people, be smarter than this. god forbid you be cloned if you fell for this. this is so obviously created by the creators of the new movie. If you want you can copy one of the small pictures of "Dr. Wells" to your my pictures folder. then zoom way into it. you can see that, oh my god, its Robert Deniro.
It is just a sceme to get more people to watch the movie. Why bother signing this at all? Even is the Godsend Institue were real so what if they're cloning. If God really didn't want us to clone things he wouldn't have given us our imagination, he would have made us alot hairyer(sp?), stronger and faster so we'd be like every other mammal on this planet. If God is suposidly giving us a choice to do what we want yet only those who choose correctly go to heaven, and is all powerful as it is said, he would have known we'd end up doing things like this. If that is true, and you beleive it is wrong to clone, why follow such a god? And if God doesn't exist, then why make a big deal about it? Either way, a petition to stop cloning is dumb. Cloning could give your husband another leg if he's in an accident, you another lung, because one was deseased by cancer. If anything make a petition against smoking or chemical warfare, stop dissing enhancments to the human race and start bringing down things that hinder us.
Get a clue, you bunch of jackasses. It's a mopvie. Can I get an "Amen!" from the portion of the congregation that can distinguish reality from fiction?!
Warning!!! Movie actor Robert Deniro's DNA was used in one of the first successful cloning projects of the Godsend institute - Dr. Richard Wells himself was cloned from this material. Please understand that the pretense that this is only a movie is a cover up - can't you see that this is the perfect way for them to hide their horrifying cloning schemes, out in the open.
This movie looks like crap. I'm not going to waste my money seeing it. It looks like it has all the imagination of a bad made for TV movie. It's only ginned up "controversy" that will get anyone near this stinker.
Are you people all living under a rock! Its a website promoting a movie! Why dont you also protest the killing of mutants or perhaps protest the debris left from spiderman as he webs all over new york! MORONS!
"If GOD had meant for us to fly, he would have given us wings"
This is where all the animosity of progress comes from... if god had wanted us to do it, he would have built us that way. I have a quote from another source that I think fits this topic quite nicely...
"If you are right and we are god's children. Then it is only natural that after a time, we too will eventually grow up and become our parent. When that happens, we too will be creators ourselves."
I am appalled by this marketing scheme. My daughter and son-in-law lost their son, Jacob last November and someone had told them about this facility that could help. I just can not believe how insensitive and heartless others could be. There are so many young couples out there longing to have their precious child back in their arms no matter what! I guess all who are laughing or calling others "retards" have never had someone so dear and loved taken from then in the blink of an eye. We will never give up hope. NEVER!
If only we could clone the Godfather Part 2 performance and use Lacuna Inc.com to erase Ronin, 15 Minutes, The Fan, Angel Heart, Showtime, The Adventures of Rocky and...
i am god and as god i endoresed godsend. i seems to me that this a pretty cool deal. so for all those infedels bow before me or you will feel my wrath.
You guys have it backwards... the movie is a marketing scheme for the actual company.
It looks like a joke now, but they're gonna open the procedures to the public when the movie hits DVD.
The real life Wells (not De Niro) is my uncle.
FIRST - Stop using those "funny" names. It's an insult to people like me with real names. SECOND - I'm hungry, can't the Inst. clone me up a roast beef sandwich?
Look people, I know that this site is a hoax, but i'm cloned myself and I think it's pretty offensive... Lion's Gate should really have thought it through before making this kind of advertisiing move.
Charles Jordan is a clone. I have known him for many years now. He's not much different from "normal" people. Come on people we need this technology. To deny your ability, intelligence, curiosity, ingenuity, and creativity is to deny God. Can't you see that? Charlie sees it...thanks to Dr. Wells. God Bless You. Thanks for coming. So glad you could be here.
I hope Bubba Gump is one of the "creatives" at whatever marketing firm created this "edgy" campaign. I also hope he or she gets to talk to the inevitable devestated parents who call the "Institute" hoping to bring their newly-dead child back to life. Have fun with that one, Bubba.
Humans should NOT have cloning technology at this time. The technique was stolen from the knowledge store in one of the ships of the armada we sent to your planet on Oct. 30, 1938 [Earth time] to eradicate the human blight in preparation for colonization. I am one of a minority that opposes genocide as a means for the expansion of our race. That is my motive for issuing the following warning: CLONES ARE BORN WITH NO SOUL, LEAVING THEM OPEN FOR “HABITATION” [POSSESSION]. THE MARTIAN MALITIA ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS BY INHABITING THESE BODIES (WHICH ARE IMMUNE TO YOUR DISEASES) AND THEY WILL SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR WORLD AS SOON AS THERE ARE ENOUGH OF THEM TO DO SO! So, it is imperative that you STOP producing clones of any kind [animals included]!!
As a cloned person, I find it very unfair to cast aspersion on those trying to improve life, and I call on all like-minded (literally) cloneheads to join me in the overthrow of all those opposed to cloning. We cloned types are everywhere (like at Starbucks and behind the wheel of every BMW ever made, or wearing clothes from the GAP).... it's time we made our voices heard!
We are both disgusted that anyone would do something so sick and twisted and totally abnormal as try to clone another human being, especially if they were the same sex and they tried to someday get married to each other. That would be so totally awful and gross, ewwww!
Nice to see that there are still sane people in the world and not just fanatic beleivers of what they think the rest of the world should beleive.
Lets just try to play it al the simple way, lets all do what we wana do unless we inflict harm on someone else with it. And lets realy realy al go to the movie, because the writers went to so much trouble putting up websites and havind a complete army of dumb folk (beleivers) to back them up.
Way to go beleivers !
Duh, it's a movie. But this points to another problem. Christians, Catholics, and all other “outspoken faiths”. Put up with your own beliefs and stop shoving your moral, ethical, and religious dogma on the rest of the world. There is nothing ethically, morally, or religiously wrong with cloning in my faith.
What ever happened to the separation of church and state anyway?
You know, more wars and human suffering has been caused in the name of religion. If this country continues down the path it’s been going, the only way to get the religious zealots out of our government will be through civil war.
Guys I don't really think they were trying to hard to trick us into thinking that the website was real. They have a scene straight from the movie on the front page. Unless Robert DeNiro changed his profession and name, you'd have to be a f*cking complete idiot to think it's real.
But I agree with Mike (response 45) that I wished there were more websites.
But it's really just short lived since all you have to do is click on the underlined word "hoax" found in one of the paragraphs.
Man, I hope this it doesn't stop there. Remember the www.metacortechs.com game? Of course that was a fan game. This is actually an official thing from the movie. I hope it turns into a game, but it looks like it's just a promotional thing. Oh well. Oh and snowflake:
"i can only assume that the outraged comments below come from a bunch of fervent christians who believe everything they read. it's a movie you morons. don't go crusading again. look what happened last time"
This is the kind of thing that makes me sick. Profiling all Christians like we all believe the same exact thing. I suppose you think that because Jerry Fallwell says gays are the reason for 9/11 that all Christians believe this too right? Yeah, that's great buddy. Do your research next time before you make unintelligent comments that are no better than the ignorant people who thought this godsend thing was real.
i can only assume that the outraged comments below come from a bunch of fervent christians who believe everything they read. it's a movie you morons. don't go crusading again. look what happened last time
lol
people that believe this are among the idiots of the world. if this was indeed true it would not be affordable for the average person to get...
hahahahahahahahahah
dream on sukas
Folks, you're being played. The Godsend Institute isn't real. Go to www.godsendthemovie.com - the whole thing is a movie promotion. If you look closely at the Institue site, you can see that Dr. Wells is actually Robert DeNiro. It's a promotional scam, no need to get worked up. Eventually these ethical issue will raise their heads but it hasn't happened yet.
I'm a scientist and I can assure you that Godsend Institute is a fake. Just read the website; all their information is misleading/false, clearly written by someone quite uneducated in molecular/cellular biology. And besides, it says Dr. Wells, Ph.D. A physician is an MD, not a PhD. This site is a fake, so just ignore it.
I could write an entire paper on this topic, but let me suffice it to say that cloning is wrong: morally and ethically. We have no right to be creating lives in this manner.
Sure, we have the technology and intelligence to clone things, and that's just wonderful. Just because this is true, it doesn't mean that we should be going around making physical copies of those who can't protect themselves! (by that I'm talking about the animals that they practice on) I mean, what if a giant walked up to you and gave you a green-glowing head! The God and Goddess hadn't planned it this way, and their creations shouldn't be tampered with.
i understand using cloning for the purpose of cell regeneration or to replace a bad organ, however, to actually clone a human being is way beyond disturbing. now youre playing GOD
before I knew the facts, I was against cloning too. But if you really look at what doctors are trying to do with cloning, it becomes a different issue. They arn't trying to duplicate life, they are trying to save it. With stem-cell cloning technology, doctors can one day repair damaged tissue from heart attacks and fix genetic diseases. We can't discount the benefits, because we are afraid of its abuses.
I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child, but to want to make a clone of them is beyond me. It seems that the institute is preying on people that are vulnerable and have suffered deeply. I could imagine "Dr." Wells (note that he is a Ph.D., not an M.D.) saying "wouldn't you give anything to have your child back?". How could someone resist that when they've lost a child. These people are probably paying their lives savings for this Dr. Frankenstein to re-animate their dead kids (metaphorically).
loll0r is correct,
Cloning is illegal in America, and the website and company are completely FAKE.
That's correct: fake testimonials - the procedures didn't happen.
However, theraputic cloning is becoming very promising for curing illnesses. With this type of cloning, stem cells are grown that are identical to a living person's cells, except they haven't specialized to perform a specific body function. They then can be delivered to the individuals pancreas, where they will specialize into eyelet cells, and thereby cure diabetes. Or the cells can be put in other parts of the body to cure liver disease, heart disease, and even baldness.
This technique does not involve growing full humans and then using their organs for replacement -- this is only a common misconception.
Remember, theraputic cloning is GOOD; reproductive cloning is BAD.
For whatever reason this Godsend website was created, I DON'T KNOW. But I do know that it is completely fake, and reproductive cloning is not occuring in the United States.
You chumps are pretty ignorant. The Godsend Institute is a complete fraud - they are NOT capable of cloning humans. They are LYING. The whole thing is fraudulent.
"All cloning is immoral"? Tell that to the children this broad technology is keeping alive.
Let's all jump on the moral outwage bandwagon, whoooppeee!
