First Sheep Now Dogs - 1st Dog Cloning Announced!


The prospect of our dogs dying is a scary one. We hate to even think about it...

Well, now a Northern California biotech company announced that it would clone dogs. This has been all over the news from the New York Times, ABC News, to the BBC. In an effort to keep our Petplace subscribers up-to-date we have just posted a video from Good Morning America called "Cloning Fido".

This is a very good video that explains the cloning process and presents both sides of the potential ethical implications.

To see the Dog Cloning Video go to: petplace.com/dog-videos.aspx?p=67.

Just in case you are interested the company is offering to clone dogs for the five highest bidders in a series of online auctions. Just in case you are interested opening bids start at $100,000.

Until next time,

Dr. Jon

P.S. - If you had a $100,000 would you clone your dog? Please let me know your thoughts. Send me an e-mail to: editors@petplace.com.
