Dog cloning prices in South Korea are to be slashed by up to 50%!
RNL Bio based in Seoul have announced the discovery of new cloning technology which will make cloning dogs much easier and so much less expensive. The new developments have come from using stem cell research which makes the chances of producing a successful clone now a 20% possibility which is more than twice as efficient as current methods.
“If we fully develop this technology, dog cloning will be much easier than now. We can reduce the cost for cloning,” said Ra Jeongchan, the chief executive of RNL Bio.
Ra added that this new development can also assist in treating genetic disorders in pet dogs.
This news comes at the same time as a Florida woman confirms she has spent $155,000 to clone her dead Labrador. Sir Lancelot the yellow Labrador died last year, and the grief-stricken Otto family froze a sampe of his DNA.
In July Sir Lancelot’s owner Nina Otto bid on a dog cloning auction from Bio-firm Bioarts International. When Mrs Otto discovered she’d won the bid she hocked some of her jewellery to pay for the procedure.
On Monday the Otto family met three month old Lancelot Encore at Miami International Airport, the exact genetic replica of Sir Lancelot.
