What creature is the most complex creature that should be allowed to be cloned andwhy?

Very few complex animals should be cloned, because cloning does not work much of the time, and there are a Lot of "mistakes" that have to be killed and disposed of. Cloning should only be done with complex animals to prevent their extinction, where there is no other way to save the species. A person once cloned their pet cat. The new cloned cat did not look or act like the original cat that was cloned. Anyone who thinks they are going to clone somebody, or some pet, and believes they are going to get an exact duplicate that looks and acts like the original cloned subject is mistaken.

Can you go out in the sun with shingles?

Shingles is a virus, in the same family as chicken-pox. If you have it, you may feel uncomfortable, but you can certainly work. On the other hand, you may be contagious, which is something to consider before going to work. You cannot give shingles to another person, but you can transmit the virus, especially to a person who never had chicken-pox. The best thing is to get vaccinated to prevent this disease, and if you do get it, to follow your doctor's instructions.

How long should you stay off from work shingles?

In theory, you could go back to work as soon as you feel well enough. I felt reasonably ok after about 4 days, despite having a red rash over my face & glandular swelling. However, this will vary from person to person. Some people will have more pain than others & may not feel well for several weeks. It's worth noting, however, that until your blisters have stopped weeping, you will be contagious & may give your colleagues chicken pox, if they have not previously had the disease.
