The world's first pet cloning service is to offer animal lovers the chance to recreate their dead companions, it was announced today.
South Korean company RNL Bio will work alongside scientists who created the first cloned canine.
A company spokeswoman said it was already working on its first order from an American who wanted a clone of her dead pit bull.
The client, Bernann McKunney, of California, was very attached to the pet because it had saved her life during an attack by another dog.
Kim Yoon said that ear tissue from the dog had been preserved at a US biotech laboratory before its death.
I think this is wonderful news for boshintang (dog stew) restaurants: you raise a dog, kill it, save a few of its cells, serve the rest, clone another dog, raise it, kill it, save a few of its cells, serve the rest, clone another dog...
