Hi after seeing the rat with the cloned human ear on its back it got me to 
thinking, would it be possible to clone fat cells for the use in alternive 
fuels etc. I am aware that diesel vehicles can be run on coconut oil and 
chicken fat, but coconut oil solidifies at certain tempratures and im not sure 
the animal libbies would like killing chickens to run their cars, so just 
wondering if it could be done in a lab by cloning or something like that. I am 
not a scientist or even science student so i hope the question doesnt sound 
too silly just a normal guy concerned about fuel prices, food shortages due 
partially to bio fuels and the enviroment, thank you for your time and i look 
foward to a reply.
