Good point Ronin. I’ll try to keep an open mind, but this is uncharted territory they’re into. They don’t really know what will happen. The cat could’ve died from their experimentation. Do the ends justify the means? If so, how far will that go before humans are in the geneticists test tubes being cloned and prodded and tinkered with?

It’s hard to get a balance here.

This cat only “glows” under ultraviolet light, and only because of a protein connected to a gene implanted when it was a zygote. The glow only tells the scientists that the gene was incorporated into the cat’s genes; if it hadn’t, the cat wouldn’t glow.

Regardless, this doesn’t harm the cat at all. People “play god” with modern medicine all the time; is that any reason to deny someone life-saving care? Don’t be so narrow-minded.

@zk: Umm where did the nuclear exposurecome from? This is Gene Splicing. Crazy.. I’de get freaked out and try and kill any cat which was bloody glow in the dark. It’d freak me out! Like some sort of Jinn or something.

q: if he becomes florescent isnt that from nuclear exposure?
if it is then i’m guessing most of the population in Hiroshima and other places including Iraq are florescent…
another case of man playing GOD
