<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> SAN FRANCISCO - The first cloned-to-order pet sold in the United States has been delivered to a Texas woman, who paid $50,000 US to have a kitten created from the DNA of her dead cat. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Animal-rights activists and others condemned Genetic Savings and Clone, pointing out that thousands of unwanted cats are euthanized each year in the United States.

"It's morally problematic and a little reprehensible," said David Magnus, co-director of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University.

"For $50,000, she could have provided homes for a lot of strays."<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

This freaks the hell out of me. I'm against cloning myself. I understand there are advantages to it, but it flys in the face of nature.

This does sound a little creepy, but I don't see how it's any more unnatural than jet airplanes or digital cameras.

The only thing I understood is that.
There is nothing natural or innatural now.
Nature is transfaring its powers to man.
To create, to distroy, To kill, To feed,and To change.
