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."

    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.
