South Korean scientists clone dog for first time
{{date|August 4, 2005}}

[[Seoul]] National University’s {{w|Hwang Woo-Suk}} has reported his findings in the Journal {{w|Nature (journal)|Nature}} after being involved in producing the first cloned {{w|dog}}. 

The dog, named {{w|Snuppy}}, was born on April 24. He is an {{w|Afghan hound}}. The issue presents a whole host of ethical questions for researchers in the {{w|stem cell}} field. 

Companies like {{w|Amgen}} are interested in the technology, as is accounted in {{w|Fortune Magazine}} for making human-safe pharmaceuticals. The business sector relies on [[technology]] improvements to make life saving realities.

The {{w|Los Angeles Times}} has reported that Snuppy came from the {{w|DNA}} of the tissue of the ear of the original canine. 

According to {{w|ABC News}} [[Associated Press]] reporter JI-SOO KIM, Korea has declared that we are still a long way from creating {{w|clones}} of {{w|monkeys}}, which have a great deal more human-like traits. 

{{w|Slashdot}} actually reported an {{w|RSS feed}} yesterday at 4:15 p.m. regarding the [[BBC]] and {{w|Reuters News}} articles which told of the two successful terms of {{w|gestation}} for Snuppy. "the {{w|South Korean}} team only obtained three pregnancies from more than 1,000 {{w|embryo}} transfers into 123 recipients." (BBC).

Kennel experts, according to the BBC, agree that there will be many moral issues to contend with, especially among pet lovers.
