So in a previous thread, I was pestering Jester about the morality of cloning - that tangent of mine was overdrawn, my bad - when I felt some interesting concepts came out of that.

I'm so proud UCSB figured it out first. It's usually UCLA who outdoes us in the medical field, so this is quite the discovery.

Who knows, maybe in a decade or so, loosing a vital organ to cancer will be a worry of the past? Truly incredible day and age we live in.
