..to clone her dead cat.oOo:
It was on the news and the woman claimed it remembered all the tricks she had taught it and loved water as her deceased cat did.
[quote:3d8f5]NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A Dallas woman has received a clone of her dead cat after paying $50,000 to a California biotech company, a Texas newspaper reported.
The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday that the 8-week-old cloned kitten -- dubbed Little Nicky -- was born in Austin and presented to a Texas woman named Julia who was saddened by the loss of the cat, also named Nicky, she had owned for 17 years.
The copied cat, which was delivered to Julie on Dec. 10, is the first ever cloned-to-order pet sold in the United States, the newspaper said.[/quote:3d8f5]

Prob she really liked the old one and wanted one exactly like it. Lets get this straight though, she didnt clone the dead cat and it came out dead. She had dna from the previous cat when it died and it created a new living one.

Hahaha, too bad thats impossible. Man, some people just dilute themselves. Some will believe anything, even if its blatantly obvious that it's wrong.
All she had to do was go out and buy a similar loking car for what $500? Because thats all she got really. The cat will differ in its upbringing, so if she does pretty much the same, the cat should turn out the same if its not crazy.
waste of 50g's. go buy a car instead, or a trip around the world or something.
