| #4 Actually, this is pretty exciting. The camel racing world has always had breeding problems. Apparently, unlike horses, it's really, really difficult to tell when a she-camel comes into heat, and often enough even then she isn't interested in what the males have to offer (camel PMS being backed by those effective teeth and legs, I guess). According to an interesting article I read a while back, the only consistently successful breeder is an American woman veterinarian (*snicker*) caring for the racing stock of one of the Sultans/Princelings/whatever over there. Besides, that part of the world already has entirely too many genetic problems resulting from their compulsive inbreeding. Giving the people the option of test-tube conception and in a couple of generations they won't be able to conceive at all. |

| #3 Well, maybe they plan to replace Fatima The Inflatable She-Camel with more natural clones. OTOH, the Fatima (tisc) does not bite back. |

| #1 They achieve the ability to perform in-vitro fertilization and the best they can produce is a camel? They're doomed. |
