Clone your pet dog for $155,000

This is something I’m particularly interested in — the first commercially cloned dog was featured on Fox News yesterday. See video clip from YouTube to learn more about it.

Only costs $155,000PHP 9,096,253INR 13,136,219EUR 147,607CNY 1,128,137 for the Korean company, BioArts International, to replicate the dog from frozen DNA. I’m sure if this were commercially viable with humans (in the future), even if it costs $1PHP 59INR 85EUR 0.95CNY 7 million, people would grab the deal.

^ because that’s from theonion.

i agree.. especially for people who’ve lost their loved ones. but then again, it’s just the body that they’re cloning… sure not going to be the “same”.

could even have a virus, for all we know.

I wonder who will be the first blogger to be cloned? :P

Anyways, it’s fine to clone animals and plants, but humans? I’m still not totally sold on the idea.

If they can clone dog, of course they can clone human.
And who knows if they already did, like what marhgil says, its just like in the 6th Day, you will never know if you’re the one who is cloned or not. Its really really weird and unhuman, well it human they made but its not right. I wonder if they can clone human and if they also cloned the soul of that human.
hmmmmmm… Soul-less human???
Scaaaarrrrrry!!!
:D
