Leopards cells are being taken in and regenerated or remade to make them useful for future cloning to save the species. This would contribute highly to the survival and population of any of the cat family. This doesn't only effect leopards any types of large cats could be cloned including lions jaguars, and tigers. If this was not possible then the Snow leopard species could eventually die out and be no more. They are simply taking the genetic code form the leopards and using there genes to enable them to clone or use then for medicinal reasons on the big cats.
Impact-This gene extraction can save the snow leopard population and any big cat population.
Critique-This is cool to me because i think cloning is cool unless your cloning humans. In this case though they are saving a species which makes me happy.
