Apparently cloning primates isn't as easy as sheep... From the New Scientist... "A high percentage of cloned monkey embryos that look healthy are really a "gallery of horrors" deep within"...."the trauma of removing the nucleus from the egg might be what triggers the defects" http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns999 91679"

  1. Camels? I think not...... by Red+Moose · · Score: 4, Funny
    Regarding the post above, I think camels may still be too much hassle to clone - I saw the Day of the Triffids two days ago and I think cloning mutant plants might be easier. Plus it would look stupid if your clones had only one hump instead of two, and you might end with scary hybrids with *three* humps. ARGH!

    I am going to start with beetroot or turnips because 10ft screaming vegetables would instil way more terror in people (when invading towns for world domination plan, etc., ).
