But could their bodies or their remains be used to genetically "resurrect" the Fuhrer? Willy's fourth son, who was killed in a car crash, seemingly bore more than a passing resemblance to his evil relative .....
Even if a clone were made, that clone would be a different person from the original. His upbringing and experiences would be utterly different, so he would be his own person, which may or may not be similar to the original.

He would have his own choices to make, based on the times he grew up in, and his environmental influences.

He would be a different person.

Remember that even identical twins who have had the same upbringing can have different personalities and make different life choices.

A clone would not, therefore, be a resurrection of the same Hitler.

I refrained from using the word "clone" since that is now a rather "ancient" concept and, indeed, accepted practice - future biological and AI developments will, no doubt, change our perceptions.

Indeed - too many!

As I said to Muddy earlier - it was just one of those daft late night type questions.

We know Bliar had children - not sure about Stalin or Pol Pot

Re: Hitler!

There must be billions of Hitler's in this world but only a very few rise to such importance.....

And bear in mind that the Victors write the history.....

Re: Hitler!

I think I heard once that after the war, lots of people with the surname Hitler, changed it with the help of the Austrian government. Must have been a bit of a bummer being called that..... even now.
