The Aggies are at it again. Laughing at the face of Cancer, AIDS, and other life threatening diseases, they've successfully cloned a deer. When sheep and cats aren't enough, sometimes you've just got to keep playing God.
"Every year, someone has harvested a big deer and sent us its testicles," hoping the team could perform some reproductive magic - enabling the magnificent kill to sire postmortem, Westhusin said.

"But, semen is so sensitive," he said, and it generally won't make the journey from kill to scientist via mail.

Two years ago, a hunter sent in the testicles of a deer that had racked in at 230 points on the Boone and Crockett system for measuring antlers. In order for a deer to be included in the record book, it must measure at least 160 points.

The semen was useless.
Man, what a fascinating career. Most people that deal with this much semen and that many testicles are typically in porn.
