Cloning Endangered Species

Posted by michael on from the just-add-water dept.

JackMonkey writes "As SFGate.com reports, scientists have successfully cloned an endangered species. "The clone -- a cattlelike creature known as a Javan banteng, native to Asian jungles -- was grown from a single skin cell taken from a captive banteng before it died in 1980." Maybe Jurassic Park isn't too far away after all." See our previous cloning story also.

    Ah yes. Quoting from bad Spielberg movies is a terrific form of argumentation.

    Remember kiddies, UNIX is better than Windows, because it's recognizable to 9 out of 10 annoying sidekick child actors badly in need of an artificial plot device!
