It is done for genetic research, to see how genes and proteins can be manipulated. This kind of manipulation may be the savior for some endangered animal species in the world one day, as this kind of work will help make clones with more genetic variety to boost dwindling gene poles of rare animals on the edge of extinction. It is one way to insure they will not be inbred with so few animals available as breeding stock. It ain't all a bad thing these kittens were born as I see it, nor was it only done for kicks.

Since you're able to ask this question, you should have read the news. Pls read CAREFULLY why. It's all written there.
As quoted:
South Korean scientists have cloned cats that glow red when exposed to ultraviolet rays, an achievement that could help develop cures for human genetic diseases, the Science and Technology Ministry said.

That is Freeeeekeeeyyyy!!!! I would be so scared if I saw one of those in the dark!
I suppose they breed them for people who like to freak other people out, just for kicks.
Kinda sad for the cats.

they are trying to play god with genetics and human nature. these "scientists" are trying to make koreans seem as the most "cleverest" race.
