Right.. because the purpose of cloning is to make more of something there isn't enough of. :confused:

And this the latest repost EVER. FOUR YEARS LATE. I was a senior in high school at the time.

Welcome to 2002. :roll:

just because the news is old, doesnh't mean the ethical issues surrounding cloning have gone away.

also, little Copycat should be about 3 years old now. Now is he doing? Is he OK?


Most of the way down, cat looking in mirror

yay! :)

Haven't found any updates on Copycat, but I did find out how to have your cats cloned.

it turns out little Copycat is living happily in Texas with one of the scientists who was working on the project. Chompman gave the link:

"CC is the world's first cat clone. She's alive and well and living in Texas in the home of one of the scientists who worked on Operation Copycat, the cat cloning project funded by Genetic Savings & Clone at Texas A&M University."
