Animals do not do typically respond to UV light other than strange cave critters. This is from altering their DNA, not an injection.

Thats cool. I didnt read the article but does that hurt them or anything? That would be kind of scary waking up and seeing a glowing cat by you.

Yeah, it would scare the crap out of me. The whole point of the experiment is they are able to make the animals have diseases or genetic defects by modifying their DNA. Think of the possibilities with finding cures.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! that'd be perfect for me!! cuz this way, i'll always know where my cat is when at night time lol tongue.gif i love my kitty! i know you all know what she looks like tongue.gif yea thats' right people, you remember the shaved pu**y lol!

^^java: yea your right, i hope they use that to possibly find cures for STD; i'm so sick of our friends coming over to our place just because they "needed" a condom, and then leave to get laid without worrying, argh! lol

^mad_john: i think cloning are cool lol, just as long as nothing goes wrong and they're all healthy n ok.
