Quote:by Dr. Michael Salla, March 1st, 2018
The New York Times describes how cloning has evolved since “Dolly the Sheep” who was born in 1996. The New York Times tracks how research shifted over years to clone “about two dozen other mammal species, including cattle, deer, horses, rabbits, cats, rats — and yes, dogs.”

The first dog was cloned in 2005 by South Korean researchers at Sooam Biotech. This was followed in 2008 by a California company partnering with the South Koreans which successfully cloned three puppies from a group of five dogs. By 2015, Sooam Biotech, had cloned over 600 dogs according to reports from Business Insider and NPR.

The lead Korean scientist behind the cloning is Hwang Woo Suk, who became infamous for fraudulently claiming he had cloned human embryos in 2004. Despite his fall from scientific grace, no one is doubting that he is successfully cloning dogs.
NPR reports that the cloning process is successful in about one in three attempts, and raises many ethical concerns about the number of miscarriages and the sickly pups that are eventually born.

This did not deter Streisand who used either Sooam Biotech or another Texas based company, her publicist did not reply to the New York Times about which one cloned her dog.

The New York Times summarized an interview Streisand gave with Variety Magazine about her two cloned puppies, which suggested she was satisfied with the results:
In her interview with Variety, Ms. Streisand revealed that two of her three Coton de Tulear dogs were clones. Specifically, the magazine reported that the dogs — Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett — had been cloned from cells taken from the mouth and stomach of Ms. Streisand’s late dog Samantha, who was 14 when she died last year.

Condoms not being one of those resources as it seems that some countries still have their population reproducing like rabbits...ignoring the fact that condoms do indeed exist.

Human cloning. It's just wrong on so many levels. My opinion.

I heartily agree that they should clone body parts though..some people wait for transplants and die waiting, and that is a shame.

Caught about a half hour of that.  Un-frikkin-real!!  Love the part where the interviewer says (paraphrasing here), "It's not one political party involved in this ... it's the elite."

A picture book filled with botched efforts?  Hillary acts crazy because she allowed gene-therapy tests to be conducted on her?  There's some damned justice!!

I have something new to add.  

Quote:Clonaid became famous in the early 2000s when the organization caught media interest for announcing their intention to clone human beings. As the controversial scientific venture drew scrutiny, it was learned the group behind the claims had ties to a UFO religion dating back to the 1970s. But when Clonaid’s mysterious spokesman Dr. Brigitte Boisselier took the spotlight, questions about the motivation to clone humans came to dominate the conversation, leaving a blurry picture of what really happened…

Still think cloning humans isn't real?

Sounds like it may be  real, but lots of allegations of fraud in there too. 
Wow, she has disgusting teeth/smile.  Hope they didn't clone her.

You thought Godzilla did a number on Tokyo, wait and see what some giant mutant Trump monsters will do to Washington DC.

I just had a nightmare thought..

I like how your mind works @"Michigan Swamp Buck".
