A question

why if we can clone sheep, and grow human ears on mice, cant they artificially cultivate rhino horn??

Good q Joe?

No idea.

Personally I think a sheep with a Rhinohorn would look a bit funny and it will take much to long to grow them as it needs to happen throigh a semi- natural process.

i mean now they saying that diamonds casn be made according to your requirements, if a diamond that takes centuries to form in nature, and we can speed up the process, why not with rhino horn, the amount of money the gooks are willing to spend on the horn will easily cover the r&d once its perfected and put on the market

Cloning is wildly more expensive, Joe!

we are not cloning a full animal, just the horn.

what does rhino horn sell for per kg??

if cloning a human body part is so expensive, then how can people and med aids afford to pay for a mouse grown human ear

No need for cloning here. Rhino horn is the same as our fingernails. We just need to convince the buyers that they are still getting "rhino" horn and we can make a fortune. Any DNA specialists out there that can fool the users that our nails are rhino horn?

so we need to contract all manicurists and podiatrists to keep their "off cuts" grind em and sell em to those little charlies

i'm in i'll start collecting my "cut offs" and "filings"

You got it JK. As soon as they realise that they have been wasting their money, things might change for the good. If not, we are in trouble with saving a species.
