oh, NOT a cure for cancer?

Yeah, cool. Yay. Now to move onto something bigger and more useful... Unless you WANT a bunch of identical mice in the world?

Scientists produced 27 mice by cloning mouse skin cells. The mice then went on to produce 200 offspring

O_O

Is that what we want? Aren't there enough mice?

I'd be more worried about the Nazi and Soviet supersoldiers after the second coming of Hitler and Stalin.

Oh well, we always have the Nuke.

Why are we talking about nukes and super soldiers? lets talk about the repercussions of this piece of news.

I think that we might be able use this discovery to maybe clone human organs for better transplants. any other opinions?

Quite interesting. While this is of course only a small step, it's definitely one into the right direction. I hope that this will eventually lead to new ways of treating diseases such as cancer.
