WTF Stories of the Week

Now, I see this as using rich people's money/desires as a means of advancing the science. Rather than created unwanted creatures purely for academic reasons who will then be summarily destroyed, they get to create wanted, desirable animals, whose characteristics are well-known, and invite easy comparison to their originals, who will likely live out their lives as valued, wanted creatures. Meanwhile, scientists working on them get their research funded so they can perfect methods and move closer toward real-world medical applications that can advance the cause of mankind.

What's so disgusting about that?
