Cloning..MOOOO

[mat]

Say it in the paper today that they have cloned a cow.....Why would you clone a cow???

 

[sunflower]

For the same sorts of reasons they cloned sheep I guess.

 

[jacks_mum]

just to show they can!!!!

 

[weevil]

Umm, generally you don't get ethical and home office approval to do things "just to show you can"

 

[jacks_mum]

sorry just being flippant

 

[weevil]

Actually I haven't seen this so don't know why they did it either

[jacks_mum]

i don't know - you can't get a serious answer on here nowadays!!

 

[JessPickle]

Basically so they can say to other scientists

HAHA we are better than you, try beating that

Therfore giving other scientists an idea for cloning a chicken for example its is a vicious circle

My mind works in strange ways!

Well it was obviously a very special cow!

Actully it seems to be a cloned embryo was imported from the states and implanted into a cow here to produce offspring with increased milk production. Seems to be some confusion over whether they went through official channels though. No doubt will spark more "frankenstein food" hysteria.

But was it Blossom or Chance?

 

[jacks_mum]

we had a sheep at school called mint sauce. wonder if they could genetically engineer that?

sorry - a bit random

 

[weevil]

Well since one has been dead for quite some time and the other is fictional I sincerely doubt it

Becuase scientists clearly have noting better to do with their time.........Or...........As my fellow super hero suggested, it might have been a very special cow (highly intelligent perhaps

)

 

[Puppy]

[sunflower]

Noooo, ermintrude was pink and there are enough pink things in the world as it is.
