what really excites me the most is the prospect of cloning only parts of animals for food. can a vegan be angry if we eat a chicken breast grown in a vat? is it even a chicken? once the technology is in place, a lot of extinction problems can perhaps be solved, too. but i'm really just in it for the guilt-free eating.

It appears to be based off of the same technologies used in DEKA's smart wheelchair that can climb stairs, etc. Just a commercialization of it. http://www.delphion.com/fcgi-bin/any2html?FILENAME =WO%2F01%2F50%2FWO00075001A1.tif&PAGE=1&SCALE=0.35
