Just watch, someday soon this will be used to breed Supersoldiers who go on to become Tyrants that try to conquer the world... When they fail (as they are doomed to fail), we will exile them to a penal colony in Australia. They will then build a rocketship with cryogenic chambers and launch into space, never to be heard from again... Until a Starship finds them, exiles them and 15 years later, must fight them one last time, resulting in the apparent death of a beloved alien character... KHHHAAANNN!!! http://io9.com/5950960/breakthrough-researchers-create-a-mammal-entirely-from-stem-cells

It was a friend of mine who achieved that mouse research. She wasn't half chuffed I can tell you. Anyway it wasn't easy and I wouldn't hold my breath about larger mammals being successfully generated.
