This is NOT about "cloning" a pet that will bring "yours" back. This is SCIENCE. Not to reproduce a "PET". It's to find the genetic similarities between species and find what may be involved in finding a basis for the genetic illness nasties that invade a humans', or animals'.. system. We are not talking about Frankenstein here. We are talking science and medicine. This has been going on for centuries! Each century has given us progress. Can you spell P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S?

edit here - I am sorry, I truly don't mean to sound this nasty. I will shut up now. I am sorry if I offended anyone...
