The DNA that made the new pup
that looks identical to the pet owner’s beloved pet was taken 12 days after the
pet died. Then scientific history was created. David Kim a Researcher in the field
acknowledges that it take special knowledge to do this process successfully. Apparently
there are “best” methods to cloning dogs out there. The big business of cloning
is coming out of Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. This particular foundation
reports that they have already cloned over 700 dogs with a 40% pregnancy success
rate which is the world’s highest. The
TLC channel jumped at the chance to exploit the practice by airing a series
called, I Cloned My Pet.
Ethical questions arise. There
are so many pets out there that need good homes then why go through the expense
and selectiveness to create just one pet again. How close are we then to
acceptable human cloning? There is no guarantee that your cloned pet will have
the same personality as your loved pet had but people have reported that the
new pets act the same as their old pets did. They have the same nature as
nurture. Various characteristics are very similar
to the old pet. So if you want a faithful friend for life get a dog. A cloned
dog.
