OT: This takes the internet investment cake! Check out the name of one of the piglets......and note the correpsonding share price action. <gg> UK Company Says Creates First Cloned Pigs By Patricia Reaney Mar 14 11:39am ET LONDON (Reuters) - PPL Therapeutics Plc, the British biopharmaceutical company that helped to clone Dolly the sheep, has created the world's first cloned pigs. The birth of the five cloned piglets -- Millie, Christa, Alexis, Carrel and Dotcom -- on March 5 could herald a new age in animal-to-human organ transplants, or xenotransplantation. News of the achievement sent shares in the Edinburgh-based group soaring 54 percent to 252-1/2 pence by the close, after touching a record high of 305 pence earlier in the day. The rise left the company with a market value of 125 million pounds ($196 million). Up to 68,000 people in the United States and 50,000 in Europe are waiting for livers, kidney and hearts. The lists increase by 15 percent a year while the number of organ donors are dwindling.
