Cloned cat

CCN reported about a woman who paid $50,000 to have her cat cloned.

What I found laughable was the name of the company that did the work which calls themselves Genetic Savings and Clone.

And they're calling their first year of operation the Nine Lives Extravaganza. Who says scientists can't be funny?

[Billionaire John] Sperling, an Arizona entrepreneur who launched the for-profit University of Phoenix, underwrote the cloning of the first cat, CC, for Carbon Copy, who was born in 2001.

Carbon Copy? I like that. If there was a genetic mutation or a problem in the replication, however, it might have been BCC.

As for Little Nicky, the real question is, does this count as a tenth life, or does the cat get a full karma do-over?

I believe the $50k bought lives 9-16, with options on another 8 lives.

So who else figures someone somewhere has cloned a human but "that" story just hasn't been let out of the bag yet?
