Korea to Clone Drug Sniffing Dogs

Posted by Zonk on from the transhumanism-on-the-horizon dept.

SK writes "Scientists at Seoul National University Korea are seeking to commercially clone dogs this year — the world's first attempt to create canine clones for money. Senior researcher Kim Min-kyu at the Seoul-based University is spearheading the efforts based on his team's expertise in cloning dogs. As per Mr. Kim early last month, they signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Customs Service to clone its drug-sniffing dogs. They have already obtained somatic cells of the expensive dogs and will attempt to clone them in July or August to get puppies late this year at the earliest."

    Hey now, for Pete's sake, everyone! I think we all need to step back--every one of us--take a few deep breaths, relax, and together take a really humongous shit.
