kitty clones ..



Five of the eight kittens fathered by a cloned African wildcat rest on a blanket Friday, Aug. 19, 2005, at the Adubon Center for Research of Endangered Species in Algiers, La. The mothers of the kittens are two clones of another wildcat. According to scientists at the centre, it's the first time that clones of two wild species, or any cats, have reproduced naturally.

6. I'll have to take your word for it.
:D. I suppose cloning endangered species isn't bad so long as it doesn't replace efforts to limit habitat destruction.

They're so cute.

2. Wow
Cloning people looks like it's just around the corner. You know somebody is going to do that despite the ethical disagreements.

5. You're right
In fact I'm surprised no one's attempted to do it yet.
