The Chinese clinic invites those wishing to create a clone of a pet.
The world's first cloned kitten appeared recently in China. Beijing private clinic Sinogene Biotechnology Company announced the birth of a kitten obtained as a result of cloning a previously deceased animal. The born baby Garlic carries the same genetic information as its predecessor, according to ZOL.
The scientific experiment is supposed to be put on a commercial basis and the clinic is already ready to offer those who wish to reproduce their pets "at the market price." A cat - 35 thousand dollars, a dog - 54 thousand.
The procedure takes about two months. Cells are taken from the animal to be cloned and transferred to a surrogate mother. And your pet is with you again. And so, if you wish, ad infinitum.
However, it's not that simple. The clone and its prototype will be identical only externally - the animal will have its own character, but, as Chinese scientists promise, over time, it is assumed that using artificial intelligence, it is possible to transfer the memories of the first animal and reproduce its character. So, perhaps, before shelling out thousands of dollars, it is worth waiting for a clone so a clone - a real one, without flaws.
