South Korean Scientists Clone Dog
Ebon Praetor writes "According to the BBC and Reuters, South Korean scientists have created the world's first cloned dog, an Afghan hound. The research purpose of the research is ostensibly to produce research animals and not for commercial purposes. Dogs are especially difficult to clone, but the scientists were able to extract DNA from a skin cell, inject it into an egg, and implant the egg into a surrogate mother."
Dammit where is the half dog half alligator? This whole cloning regular animals thing is getting boring.
In Korea only old people clone dogs.
It's karma burn wednesdaty!
And, as a result, the Korean food supply becomes more plentiful!
What, are they running out of their favorite food over there? *ba-dum-bump*

Very original
Why are cloning dogs "notoriously difficult"? Is it because of the wide range of variability within the species?
I wasn't worried until I saw that the press release was put out by the Umbrella Corporation from someplace called Raccoon City.

Korea plans to produce radioactive cloned dogs of war! We're doomed!
Suuuuure it's for research.
I , being a Dick, have to say this , South Korea clonign dogs is like the US cloning chickens.
Lets be frank they eat Dogs there, and they LIKE them, we have a fellow here where I work that says the White or lighter ones tasted better than Darker ones, black being the least tasty, and you have to kill them right (cats also) otherwise the blood taints the meat.
I will have to forward this to him, anyone that can carry on an honest and frank discussion in the US about eating Dog deverves my respect.

Oh, just a sec. "For non-comercial purposes"? This would not work...
But seriously, I think using this technology to clone our beloved pets would be a great idea. Now granted a cloned pet is not going to be exactly the same, but it will have the ssame genetics, and given the same environment to mature in, the end result should be a very similar pet. I've had a lot of dogs in my life, but Buster the Mutt was by far my favorite. He was super kind and loving and ridiculously smart. I know I will never find another dog like Buster, and given the oppurtunity I'd clone him in a second.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.

I hold nothing but extreme vitriol towards people that breed dogs when there are so many cats and dogs that are out on the streets and in shelters needing good homes. Same goes towards any pet store that sells cats and dogs.
People, please spay or neuter your pets and don't allow your ego to perpetuate the suffering of homeless cats and dogs.

From the NYTimes story:
* Can't stimulate estrus with hormones, as you can with other animals. (Doggy estrus is weird. I read about it while reading up on dogs prior to adopting one. Very complex process, and messy. Glad my pup is spayed.)
* Difficult to detect ovulation.
* Eggs are not ripe when they leave the ovary. They have to be nabbed as they travel through the fallopian tube, modified, and reinserted within a few hours.
The research purpose of the research is...

"You can't teach an old dog new tricks" was easy to remember, and often true.
So, what is it now? You can now teach your new old dog new tricks? Or, you can only re-teach your new dog's tricks to the old dog? Do the old tricks come pre-installed, and how many new tricks can you stack on top?
Wait, you can't teach your old dog new tricks, but the new dog....

I personally am against cloning. Aren't there enough dogs roaming around without owners that testing could be done on instead of using tons of money to make the same thing that can be done for free? When my mom had cancer you could hear the dogs that tests were being done on barking and running around upstairs in the Cancer Research Center, but I think cloning them is an unnecessary step.
Was a "doggy style" clonning?! I think, using "Missionary" style would be more productive...
So I've heard.

"Made up/misattributed quote that makes me look smart. I am on
Quoth the article: "Canine cloning runs contrary to the Kennel Club's objective 'To promote in every way the general improvement of dogs'," Phil Buckley, spokesman for the Kennel Club told the BBC News website.
But the KC does things like register particular breeds of dogs which, due to their popularity, have been improperly bred so that they develop a wide variety of health problems. Some breeds are even prone to genetic disorders even if they aren't inbred. So doesn't promoting the breeding of these susceptible dog breeds detract from the lives of those dogs?
And besides that, there are so many dogs out there that are euthanized because nobody can find homes for them. Doesn't intentionally breeding more dogs in such an environment make life worse (as in, dead) for the dogs that get euthanized?
Yes, I think that cloning animals to be pets is a bad idea, but aside from the multitude of failed clones, I don't get how that's any worse than breeding them. And at least the cloning scientists have a goal of improving the state of medicine for humans.
It looks pretty cute'n normal imo. :D

I doubt that this process is significantly increasing the number of dogs out there. It's too hard, and too complex. If you want to worry about this you'd be much better off giving money to the local "neuter and spay" foundation rather than campaigning against cloning.
This exists primarily to preserve lines you particularly care about, either as a breed or of a beloved pet. But 99.9999% of people will stick to the "going to the pound" theory of buying a dog (or buying one, or getting a puppy from a friend.)
I think the thing that you complainers are forgetting when you whine about how it's not that cool to cloan a dog, is that this has huge implications for the agriculture industry in Korea. Now that they can cloan dogs, that opens up vast possibilities for choosing only the finest tasting dogs and just cloaning them. Just imagine if the same were done here in the United Gulags of Bush. Our pharms would just make sure to taste test each cut of meat from first gen cattle that had already been genetical sampled. Then the most delicious cuts of cattle with the best health could be cloaned and we'd have an endless supply of high quality meats.
Cloaning is the answer to the world's food problems and it's never been more obvious than the Korean dog cloaning programs. Them gooks are always one step ahead of us whities. So don't diss the cloan. Embrase it and make it happy so that you too will one day eat of the cloaned dog flesh and cow meat. No more mad cow. No more rabies. Just pure meaty goodness of pet dogs and prized cows!
According to this page, afghan hounds are literally THE stupidest dog there is. They need absolute constant care and supervision, to prevent their idiotic behavior. According to one site:
"Afghans can be very destructive when bored. The Afghan Hound has an independent disposition and may not understand your displeasure with his destructive behaviors."
So, we have a dog that destroys your house if you leave him alone, and cannot learn otherwise, because they cannot be trained.
Why not clone a perfectly-bred German Shepherd, or Retriever? The first thing the cloned Afghan did was probably destroy the lab he was created in.
The South Korean dog meat industry reportedly involves about 1 million dogs, 6,000 restaurants, and 10 percent of the population
yes this is from 2002 but hmmmmm makes you wonder
Somehow, the editors removed the Reuters link from the original story.
Also, for those who already have an account (so don't have to fork over their first-borne), from the New York Times.
Soul basically means 'breath' - life.
Contemporary understanding of a 'soul' is the whole life history of an organism, the product of it's energies and interactions.
It is the one thing that can't be destroyed - from birth to death - the history of interactions and activities of a creature cannot be erased ( except for time travel paradoxes - but that's another topic).
From an all creature standpoint - each unique creature has a unique life experience and thus a unique soul.
So identical twins - which are basically clones - exact same DNA and everything - they both have a unique soul all their own.
But was it a Capitalist Running Dog so as to be expoertable to China? :-)
Inside every complex program is a simple solution trying to get out.
Oh goody! More dogs for Bob Barker to spay and neuter! ;-)
So what if Koreans (and Chinese) eat dogs. Why is this worth talking about?
We think of them as pets, and others seem them was work-animals or food -- but so what?
There are euros who eat horses. There's others who eat pig (a really nice and smart animal). Chinese eat rats. Blacks in Africa eat insects and other grubs.
My hat's off to the Koreans for the science involved. While you are making dog-jokes, they are achieving great progress in the life sciences.

There are millions of human clones already, walking around among us. You've almost certainly met several during your lifetime.
As in, identical twins. They share the same DNA. Oooh scary!

They want to secretly maintain food quality IMHO (:
So the scientist went home, told his wife what he'd done, and she said "So what? I knitted an afghan today too..."

S Korea unveils first dog clone

Let's make cloned puppy pie!!!
I'm part Korean, and my girlfriend sent the above email to me this morning. I swear!!!
Maybe you can wrap it around yourself to keep warm - and fuzzy.
Why they chose to clone it with an Afgan is anyone's guess.
"Sadly however, the media interest is likely to attract pet owners keen to re-create their much loved pets.
This one particular team is doing cloning simply for medical disease research. What makes this kind of news most disturbing though is that with such wide publicity, you will have lots of people saying to themselves that they would absolutely love to have fido back from the dead. The demands from these owners, no matter how much the debate may say that it is unethical, will drive pop-up commercial biotechs looking for a quick cloning buck. Even though only a few of these dog owners could pay the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars that a cloning company would charge for such a service, just that is enough to bring such an industry alive. It has already happened with CC the cat (mentioned in the article), and I have no doubt will happen in the near future with a dog (even though the risks are so high). Some rich dog owner out there will probably be willing to pay through the nose to have his fido back, and his money will grease the commercial biotechs to find a way.
You could win the Idiotroid race!
(Maybe even the Iditarod race!)
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Seriously,
Whoever runs the top-3 poultry company in the U.S. will likely pay top-dollar to have their most profitable birds cloned.
That is if they haven't done so already.

I always wondered about the religious issues concerning cloning. I cound never understand a couple of things.
One -- if only god can give you a soul, does an animal you clone have a soul? If it does, did he put it in there even though you (supposedly) did something immoral?
What's so terrible about playing god? all his creatures are wonderful, why not make more?

The research purpose of the research is ostensibly to produce research animals
That's a beautiful thing.
Do not attempt to put guilt upon the good breeders out there. It is not their fault for the huge numbers of homeless animals and they should not have their legitimate activities curtailed.
The good breeders promote their breeds by ensuring only the good representatives of the breed are bred. They usually sell their dogs in two classes, show and pet. Show class dogs are show no signs of defect, injury, or disease. They are splendid examples of their breed and will help to keep the breed useful and defect free. Pet quality dogs are usually those whom the breeder to be healthy animals yet not posses the best qualities representative of the breed. They are sold on the condition that they are to be spayed or neutured. Their registration actually prevents unscrupulous buyers from registering litters produced by them.
The good effect of cloning is that by advancements in the procedures it may be possible to eliminate some defects that show up in various types of animals thereby improving the breeds.
I am all for control of the pet population but it is just as selfish to condemn all breeders and sellers as it is to ignore the problem out there. Quite a few states PERMIT puppy-mills (Misourri is one). I am all for shutting down those places and the businesses that use them.
* Winners compare their achievements to their goals, losers compare theirs to that of others.
buhahahahahahhahaha....can't believe this wasn't commented on...?
I thought eating cloned things wasn't good.
Oh wait...
How would you know, have you tried dog?
Wonder if there is anyway to bring back some extinct breeds, like the original Mastiffs (who died out after World War I)?
The cloned puppy has just won a trip to "The Island"...
All this and not a single 4 assed dog joke? I guess there's a shortage of Southpark fans out here...
Breeders are contributing to the supply of dogs when there is already an egregious surplus out in the streets. They are part of the problem. Aside from legitimate work dogs (ie bomb sniffers & seeing-eye), *very few* selections of purebreds are not driven by the buyer's ego, IMO.
"The good effect of cloning is that by advancements in the procedures it may be possible to eliminate some defects that show up in various types of animals thereby improving the breeds."
The only way to get rid of problems like hip dysplacia (sp?) in hounds and respiratory problems found in some bulldog varieties is to eliminate the breed by interbreeding to introduce more genetic variety.

Beef exports to South Korea suddenly dwindle due to recently economically viable alternative beef sources. However, the sudden increase of alternative beef source had quadrupled the US rice exports to that region.
(a) Koreans do in fact eat dogs, though I gather it's mostly the older generation that do so, and there are now animal rights organizations trying to promote the idea of dogs as being exclusively pets.
(b) People in America joke about chitlins, white bread, and other disgusting food eaten by po' white trash.

Oh who cares.
And so are identical twins.
(Yes, I'm joking)
The clone is just another animal with the same DNA. Nobody gets freaked out about identical twins, but there are always some people who make this complaint about clones.
As best as I can tell, all the "playing God" complaints are from religious luddites.
There may be some socio-economic consequences of cloning that are worth considering though. If we get to some more advanced genetic engineering, there certainly will be. Designer genes, anyone?

Oh please!! Fact is, nature is nature. As such, they will continue to breed and roam the wild which includes our cities. We might as well shelter "stray" birds and rodents while were at it.
By default, all animals are unwanted when it comes to domestication. Breeding is nothing more then controlled domestication as seen fit by society. Regardless whether we breed animals or not, there will ALWAYS be a population of them in the wild.
Life is not for the lazy.
... people that breed dogs when there are so many cats and dogs that are out on the streets and in shelters needing good homes. ...
People, please spay or neuter your pets and don't allow your ego to perpetuate the suffering of homeless cats and dogs.
I agree with that, but I take it one step further, and here's where it gets interesting: why are people still having children when there are so many homeless children in the world? If you adopted instead of having a natural child, you would not only by "saving" one child, but you'd also avoid putting another one in this world (or actually thousands, millions or billions, in the long run).
I was wondering what the parent (poster) thinks of that. And I do seriously think like that.

I hate to be an ass hole, but who cares? All sorts of animals are dying all the time. Countless cows are being slaughtered. Rats and mice are being exterminated. Cats are killing birds. I crushed a cockroach yesterday. Eh, if you have too many animals, especially of the domestic type, just put a few of them to sleep.
Am I cruel and heartless? Eh, I would call it realistic. Animals are dying all the time, just because some animals are cute and furry doesn't mean that suddenly we need a moral crusade to save them. Honestly, the best evolutionary trait an animal can have these days is either being cute or tasty. Cats and cows will never go extinct.

...that they still haven't solved the telemere/age problem; i.e., that if the original animal is an adult, the clone will be born with the same amount of time left to live as the adult original. I hope they solve that problem before they start seriously trying to clone humans...the result could be exactly the same problem that Rutger Hauer's character in Blade Runner had if they don't.
