Korea to Clone Drug Sniffing Dogs
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."

If I went around claiming I was an emperor...they'd put me away!
Koren officials herald this as the most delicious cloning effort undertaken to date!
But then you can't eat the failed clones.
They may taste better?
They might be tastier as well.
Note to self: Buy some stock in that Korean restaurant chain down the street.
