Pet Products Review - Best Friends Again, BioArts International the sole holder, worldwide license for the cloning of dogs, cats and endangered species

You know when you look back on your life perhaps the most powerful influencers in your life, aside from your parents and siblings were probably some teacher, and most certainly your childhood dog.  Everyone loves their dog.  Most of us love our dog more than anyone else we know.  So what do you do when the Rainbow Bridge is getting close? Wellwith a small sample of DNA, you might have a second chance, or even third, or fourth to keep your beloved dog in your life forever.

BioArts International, a San Francisco-based firm, is the sole license of the nuclear transfer technology of Start Licencing.  By obtaining a license to certain aspects of these patents, BioArts is employs a suite of sophisticated biotechnology tools to produce healthy cloned animals. While other companies might claim companion animal cloning capabilities, BioArts is the only entity in the world with both the know-how and the legal right to practice commercial dog (and cat) cloning. BioArts takes cloning one step further in that they claim their dog clones will not only match their donor subjects in appearance, but also in personality.

You may be asking yourself, is this real?  Have people actually cloned their dog? Well BioArts International announced last week that they have delivered the world’s
first commercially cloned dog, a 10-week old Labrador named Lancey, to Florida residents Edgar and Nina Otto.
“We can’t believe this day is finally here,” said Nina Otto, “We are so happy to have little Lancey in our family. His predecessor was a very special dog. We are thrilled beyond words!” Nina then goes on to say, that of all the dogs they've owned over the years, the original Lancelot was "the most human".

Here's a picture of Lancey, the Otto's cloned dog:

Ok............ To tell you the truth, I have no comment, and certainly not going to advise on what may or may not be morally and ethically correct.  All I'm letting you know is that there are options out there if you really can't go on without your little Muffin, Molly or Max.  My one recommendation, in doing your due diligence if considering cloning your pet, rent the DVD Pet Cemetery by Stephen King.  Yes, that lovely movie where pets come back from the dead with evil intent. 

Just remember people, every single animal shelter and rescue organization have so many wonderful, healthy, and loving animals ready for adoption.  It breaks my heart that people would rather spend thousands of dollars for a selfish repeat than give a second chance, real life to one of God's creatures in need.
