I've got a feeling that when Gems cat ears arrive they will probably still say made in japan.
As long as nothing of mine comes from tescos, I don't want 'Own-Brand' Blue and White stripe fur thanks. What I do want is the ability to regenerate, hibernate and always land on my feet.

Seriously though, its no big deal, at least not yet. We haven't created a chimera (yes, thats what they're callled) that could even possibly be considered human enough to have the rights we give other humans. And we won't for a long time.

In all seriousness, if we can give little billy who had his legs blown off in an explosion a new set of legs - that just happen to have been grown on the back of a cow - and he can walk again, where's the downside?
I think that people believing we are going to be making cows w/ IQ's of 150 are overreacting a bit. Perfectly natural, it happens every time there is a radical advancement in science.

Why would you want animal parts? Artificial replacements would last longer, take more abuse, and let you do cool stuff, like shoot lazers out of your eyes. Become something more than a sentient sack of protoplasm. >:D

I wasted quarter of a can of raid on one earlier and it was still living an hour and a half later. Good thing bees can't swim D:
