If you would like a clone of your dog, this is not a problem for BioArts International. BioArts International is the only company licensed to utilize the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning patents that created Dolly the sheep, in 1996. The founder of the University of Phoenix, John Sperling, paid them 3.7 million dollars to clone his own dog who passed away in 2002. BioArts International made three dog clones, all who look exactly alike, and who all share a passion for steam broccoli just like the original.
BioArts International is arranging an auction at this time, where 5 winning bidders will get to have their favorite dog cloned. It doesn't come cheap, starting prices for auction will range between $100,000 to $180,000. They have successfully cloned 26 dogs within the last 3 years. We have arrived at a time in history where the success of cloning has become reliable. BioArts International has the formula, they could actually begin cloning humans, I suppose they don't because of possible public outrage. For now, we will just try to get used to the thought of cloned dogs.
