    Researchers in Texas have cloned a cat, producing a two-month-old kitten called Cc:.
    The work is described in the scientific journal Nature and is the first time anyone has cloned a pet.

    Cc: is a copy of her genetic mother, not of the surrogate cat which actually gave birth to her.


    "The Wall Street Journal says the work at Texas A&M University was financed by an 81-year-old financier called John Sperling, who wants to charge wealthy pet owners to clone their animals"

    That's sick,
    Like cloning is gonna bring back your pet.
    they're goïng to be different in some way,
    so you can better look for a new one.
    they're playing a dangerous game, with that cloning stuff!

    did you see the video footage of that kitten playing in the jar. It's cute as hell. I want it...

    Although, 3 months from now it'll probably grow 4 arms out of it's back and start walking upsidedown.

    ...that would be cool for the parties though.

    There are certain aspects of cloning that are good...namely, stem cell research and organ generation

    this pet cloning is pretty disturbing though. they went through 80+ kittens before one survived. it's like watching the movie Alien with all the failed attempts in that one room. kinda creepy.

    The medical research aspect of it is a potentially good side of cloning but rather than cloning kittens (of which hundreds are abandoned and in need of a home at your local RSPCA) these boffins should get to work on X Ray glasses that really work I've gone through 80 pairs that don't work trying to see through walls

    LOL!
    I've seen ads for these, but I reckon it's all bull!
    I'd love to get my hands on a pair that work, customised in Oakley frames.

    Exactly.

    The clone may look like your Rover, Spot, whatever but it certainly won't have its personality.
