World's first cloned cat has kittens

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.

Cloning and stem cell research are two different areas of science. While they interrelate to a point, they are not identical.

True, but they can both be generated to form human organs, which was the broader question that #1Wolflover was asking. But, you're right. Stem cell research is not cloning. However, the general criticism over human cloning and stem cell research can be applied to the whole "why we don't do it on ourselves" issue.
