Snuppy the Clone

LA Times Science page reports that South Korean scientists have successfully cloned a dog. "The researchers transferred 1,095 cloned embryos into 123 surrogate dogs to produce three pregnancies, one of which resulted in a miscarriage." (The other puppy died from pneumonia 22 days after birth, which researchers think had nothing to do with the cloning.)

Now "Genetic Savings and Clone", the organization that wants to clone dogs for their owners, may have a viable market strategy. If Dolly the Sheep managed to cause a fuss, what will Snuppy do? Ah well. Let the Clone Wars (in congress) resume.
