If you want to clone your dog - do it in South Korea (although for $ 100,000)





After Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996, the year, the moral and ethical debate in most countries, have led to the imposition of a ban on the cloning of multicellular organisms for any purpose other than research. But not in South Korea - where you for the "modest" sum of $ 100,000 offered to clone a pet dog.

The technology still is fulfilled, and the percentage of failed clones is quite high, moreover, the ethical side of the issue still has not been canceled, so this business is not developing particularly rapidly. Many clones did not survive due to genetic abnormalities. Some were killed, as customers order only one copy of a pet, but it turned out a few. Yet, in the case of successful completion of the process, you can get an exact copy of your dog as a child. That, however, does not negate the fact that the identity of the dog may be very different from the "original version", because even identical twins, with 99 percent of the genome coincidence, however, have different characters.
