England: Sheep. Dubai: Camel. Iran: Goat. What’s next?
Iranian scientists have cloned a goat and plan future experiments they hope will lead to a treatment for stroke patients, the leader of the research said Wednesday. The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the city of Isfahan in central Iran, said Dr. Mohammed Hossein Nasr e Isfahani, head of the Royan Research Institute.
The effort is part of Iran’s quest to become a regional powerhouse in advanced science and technology by 2025. In particular, Iran is striving for achievements in medicine and in aerospace and nuclear technology.

Scientists in Dubai say they have created the world’s first cloned camel, according to reports in United Arab Emirates newspapers.
The BBC, quoting UAE papers, says Injaz, a female one-humped camel, was born last week after more than five years of work. Scientists say DNA taken from a cell in the ovary of an adult camel was put into an egg from a surrogate mother.
According to one of the UAE papers, the donor camel was killed for its meat in 2005, but its DNA was preserved.
What’s next, U.S.: T-Rex? Human? What will the faithful Muslims have to say about all this?
BTW, those calling on the Iranian government right to research in such noble fields as missiles & nuclear bombs, you’d rejoice at the latest cooperation treaties signed by kuzco between venezuela and iran.
You’ll soon have your second missile crisis, only this time you’ll switch the soviets for iran. fidel is still a big protagonist, although he’s just calling the shots via proxy.

Lovely… somehow this got translated from cloning into other forms of scientific research. I love cold wars… sign me up. Nothing better than being able to demonstrate your patriotism while raping the United States government blind.
Summary: It is a frickin’ goat, learn to live with it. This is not the fall of civilization.

#24 Sorry man, no english source since it’s a local news and, for the past 10 years, nobody has given a damn about what goes down there.
But, if you’re interested, I’d be more than happy to translate.
#25, Pedro, sure. Translate away. I couldn’t get more than every 3rd word.
“What’s next, U.S.: T-Rex?”
And you know why they would clone a Dinosaur in the USA? SO THEY COULD GET A GUY WHO LOOKS LIKE JESUS TO RIDE IT.
#25 Pedro,
I suggest you read this blog.

Too bad he’s not typing from Venezuela but then again, with his opinions he’d be already dead if he lived there.
*sigh* This tiny patch of land called Honduras is slowly becoming another penile extension of Chavez…
This guy is a very renown investigative journalist with quite reliable sources:
“Get Lost!: The ousted Minister of Science & Technology Noris Orihuela might have pointed out to the President the inconvenience of the two agreements to be signed with Iran, one of them relative to nuclear power & Venezuelan uranium extraction, which would position the country in the eye of the global hurricane with such an inconvenient partner. Before she dissented with the strong man regarding the operational status & the use of the yellow (Chinese made) satellite which she was congratulated for during its launch and hailed as a red heroin in that stupid “chain” (forcefull broadcast of presidential speeches on all radio & tv stations, both public & private) where only chinese was spoken. With respect, she insinuated Chavez to leave the accords that “terribly lessen our nation’s sovereignty” to be discussed later during the Iranian president’s next visit to Caracas. The presidential reply: “Wouldn’t it be you the one lessening Venezuela? You’ll get in the next plane that you can find back to Caracas. Get lost!” She was forced to say she resigned due to personal reasons, risking the beginning of a war against her and the possiblity of being excluded of any other governmental position if she didn’t comply. That’s how the devil pays. The Iranians will build a missile factory in the Guayana state under the supervision of Rodolfo Sanz, minister of the People’s Power Ministry for Mining & Basic Industries, who was also with the president in the trip.”
#28 chavez is just castro’s proxy, so you should be very concerned. Just have a look at that stupid “ALBA” meeting taking place in Venezuela right now, before the Summit of the America’s in Trinidad.
raul castro (the one really calling the shots in the meeting) is there and the sole purpose of the meeting is to defend cuba (thier own words). They have just basically told Obama before the Summit to shove it.
Seems that muslims have reached enlightenment. They’ve invented edible sex toys.
Thanks for the translation, pedro!
