And once again we have idiots playing God.

I don't even want to get into all the things I could say about this.

Great....deliberately producing kittens in the name of science when so many are put to sleep due to lack of homes.

Not the babies' fault - they are cute.

But some stoopid humans....sheesh!

I echo your thoughts, girls.

Although they are cute and it's not their fault, more shelter kitties will die because frenzied people wanting a "cloned" kitten will stand in line just for the bragging rights. Makes me ill.

What I want to know is : Why the hell are these scientists messing around cloning cats, which proves nothing other than it is do-able, rather than trying to put cloning to good use, eg. using it to rescue a few species from the brink of extinction? It mentioned the African cats in the report so I see it as a little bit of a waste of time to be cloning and then breeding from cloned domestic kitties.

The successful reproduction from a clone proves that there was no genetic damage to the cat when they cloned her.

So you're willing to swear off any medical cures found through this research?

then if its sooooooo important why don't people try it on themselves? let me guess safety precautions?

Hee hee. The debate over *human* cloning is even greater than animal cloning. Besides, you'll be hard pressed to further human therapeutic cloning with the current government funding and aged stem cell lines.

If we are scared of what might happen, why do we do it on the animals?
What did they ever do to us?

A cloned heart or liver would probably be defective anyway.
