Thirty died in embryo so SCNT-hES-1 could live-in the testicles of a mutant mouse, called a SCID, which lacks an immune system and thus won't reject human tissue. In just one, they managed to culture the stem cells, creating a "line." In the quest for SCNT-hES-1, they dismembered the embryos, trying to isolate their stem cells. Why did they kill these embryonic girls? To develop a line of cells they call "SCNT-hES-1." That stands for: Somatic cell nuclear transfer-human embryonic stem cells-1. (In Science, they mention that "overwhelming ethical constraints preclude any reproductive cloning attempts.") But the researchers did not create them to live they created them to die. In the womb, these girls could grow into babies. In 30, a cloned embryo-a little girl identical to her mother-began to develop.

These were chemically treated to induce division. Researchers managed to "squeeze" the nucleus from 176 of these and replace it with the nucleus of another cell from the same donor. In Korea, 16 women volunteered for "ovarian stimulation." That yielded 242 human eggs. It just might break all Ten Commandments at once. But when I read the recent Science article describing how researchers in South Korea had cloned human embryos, it occurred to me that cloning might be the perfect sin. Seven out of 10.There are those who argue that "therapeutic" cloning-in which a human embryo is cloned and killed-is a great advancement for the human race.
DOES THOU SHALT NOT KILL INCLUDE PMOUSE MOVIE
There always is something appealing about watching something made on a low budget by people just wanting to make a movie and have some fun. It earns points more for its heart than anything else. Clocking in at a reasonable 83 minutes, "Stryker's War" makes for good enough entertainment, no matter if it's not a particularly good film. Raimi's actor brother Ted also turns up as the goon wielding the chain. One can see that this is a labour of love for the filmmaking family including such talents as Raimi, Spiegel, Becker, and Campbell (the last having also worked in the sound department). These cult members are going to get what's coming to them, and THEN some. While this remains agreeable viewing throughout, it might require patience on the part of some viewers to stick it out through the first half before we finally start getting to the really good stuff, with a lot of hysterical gore and sadism. It's a good thing they're around, as soon Jack will go to war with a Manson Family type cult led by an absolutely priceless Sam Raimi in a hilarious hippie wig, after the cult murders Jack's good friend Otis (Perry Mallette) and abducts his old girlfriend Sally (Cheryl Hausen). He's soon visited by his wartime comrades, played by Robert Rickman, John Manfredi, and Timothy Patrick Quill.

From a story co-credited to Bruce Campbell, and a screenplay co-written by Scott Spiegel, Josh Becker directs this goofy fun flick that takes place in 1969, after young man Jack Stryker (Brian Schulz) has returned from Vietnam after an honourable discharge.

It's admittedly rather rough, in both the acting and technical departments, but this adds to the appeal if you totally dig wild and wacky B cinema. In fact, it's silly enough for one to believe the filmmakers had their tongues firmly in their cheeks. "Thou Shalt Not Kill.Except", is solidly amusing low budget action nonsense that definitely delivers in the laughs department.
