Flounder, cloning is the replication of exact and precise DNA sequencing of the original is it not?? Ron.


yep, i suppose, im no cloning expert, i think there is different types of cloning, but if there is no _detectable_ rna/dna to date with i.e. prion theory vs virus, then this might become complicated, but replicable i suppose either way, but something they probably never considered. it would take 100% testing throughout for TSE, and we all know this will not happen i.e. tissue and blood donor herds i.e. the jan. 9, 2001 50 state bse conference call etc. blah blah blah. i will even be surprised if this new democratic administration coming in will be any different. they talked the mad cow talk, but will they walk the mad cow walk, and hold someone's ass to the fire, or just continue to cover the BSe up $$$ we have to wait and see i suppose, but im not holding my breath. money talks and BSe walks. ...tss
