More tampering with life and reproduction...after death??? :eek:.

(Tuesday is the name of the horse)
"Doctors at CSU removed Tuesday's ovaries before she was euthanized and then staffers at the school's equine reproduction laboratory quickly collected her eggs and injected them with sperm from a horse belonging to one of Mears' neighbors the next morning.

Of the 20 fertilized eggs, eight developed into embryos and then lab director Pat McCue took the four best ones and implanted them into four surrogate mares rounded up by family, friends and CSU."

Horses...this proves nothing. I do not believe the article...

An animal is a beast that operates by stimulus-response, keyed to certain universal patterns.

IF the mares were dead, they should not have been capable of gestation.

Someone is taking the piss in Denver...

Well, OK...then clearly I've misunderstood.

How does this relate to progeneration after death, then?

Sorry...:o

Just pointing out that this article made it into today's press, and that the media is showing us what can be done publicly and commercially with embryos.

OK, cool yeah. I was just a bit confused by the thread title I guess.
