When the cat glows


I found a little report that might turn into a good theme (when used effectively, of course.) for my phosphorescent graffiti ideas. Back in 2007, South korean scientists reported to have cloned cats that have the ability to glow-in-the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light. Apparently those phosphorescent felines enable the scientists to artificially create animals with human genetic diseases, which process could be used to develop treatments for a range of genetic illnesses. It was also said that it could also help clone endangered animals like tigers, leopards and wildcats. I couldn't find further progress in this experiment. I'm curious wether PETA had left any comments on it.
