For $3,500, you can own the world�s first hypoallergenic kitten. Yes folks, the kitten is due off the �assembly line� in 2007 and promises to solve the dilemma of cat lovers suffering from a cat allergy

It�s the product of animal genetic engineering, which will �silence� the gene that produces the Fel d 1 protein

Ok.. I am a cat lover but I wonder if this is going to far?

If all cats produce this protein.. then perhaps there is a reason the cats need this that our scientists have no clue about. Yes we all know I am not religious and I am not even sure I have any moral objections to this form of genetic engineering but.. what scares me in genetics is that we are like a bunch of children playing with the components of a nuclear bomb.. you may get it put together but do you understand the ramifications of your actions?

I will however be the first in line to order a genetic child
