Hey, What do you guys think about this?
Florida Couple Gets $155G Cloned Dog: Lancelot Encore
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 
MIAMI — A Boca Raton couple got a new dog, and it's just like their old dog. Not just the same breed and gender, but the same DNA.
Nina and Edgar Otto picked up their cloned yellow lab puppy at the Miami International Airport Monday night. Lancelot Encore was cloned from the DNA of the Ottos' late dog Lancelot, which died of cancer in January 2008. Guessing that pet cloning would one day be possible, the Ottos had DNA samples of their dog frozen five years ago.
The Ottos paid $155,000 in a San Francisco biotech firm's dog-cloning auction last July.
BioArts International created Lancelot Encore in South Korea, where he was born 10 weeks ago. The Ottos say he's the first single-birth, commercially cloned puppy in the United States

Singular birth a clone is one at a time?

I agree with all of your comments. I just can't imagine why someone would do this. I love my dogs, but this is ridiculous. How do they even know for sure that this cloning actually took place? I'm skeptical to say the least, but how would they know? If I were putting down that kind of cash, I'd want to watch it done. The things I could do with 155 grand. Damn!

Slobbering Love Affair
Money buys anything~
I'm hesitant to say that I bet that Europeans have already done this? Wonder if a German Shepherd has been done in Europe?
What temperaments are there, health is number one. When we can not even keep safe food in our stores, that are not plagued with Salmanella and full of lead contaminants and we barter our food production to countries like China who clearly screwed us over for the last how many years selling us food and products contaminated with every thing poisonous and now we hollar Crook., and now we ask Why did we ever start trusting the outside countries for our health. Send out DNA to China for a clone? or Korea? Probably send it back full of Uranium so it can be traced. lol
Cloning will create life from a tube, but what happens when the personality of the clone is let loose in our world and the originator of the clone is not there to habitat the clone...Will it be like the one who or what the clone came from?
Nuclear Power Plant just for $46,000,000.00 created a new marine habitat from rocks and it is the home for Kelp.
Bringing kelp and marine life back where the Power Compainies are responsilble for the damage done in the first place.. This is in Southern California.....
Now that is one good investment..But bad was done to do good... Weird happenings in the year 2009?
