Rick, Got to be careful on this porcine stuff. Signaling and homeostasis is really a problem once you get past the immune rejection. Pig cells don't efficiently recognize all the necessary human proteins, hormones etc and vice versa. or at least so say the solid organ transplant guys we work with. Me, I just do blood, for now. Lots of that in the market today. Some wag recommended NBSC and KDUS to me and I got hosed good, while he probably daytrades out of it every night...... FWIW. RWR

Richard, I think one idea is to manipulate a pig to produce human insulin, and then clone it. With regards to comparing a crowd (my suggestion for the collective noun) of clones to an inbred herd; an inbred herd would still contain much variation.
