I stumbled, quite literally, upon the site a few days ago whilst looking for something else. This seems to me to be the best way to find new websites. The research was the brainchild of a multi-billionaire from San Francisco, who for the payment of a very large fee has secured his anonymity. He provides the money, the research team provide the knowledge. As long as the dog's corpse is dealt with quickly and effectively after the moment of death, the DNA can still be used.
Sheep are one thing, but the ethics surrounding cloning family pets is a completely different story.
But according to Wired Magazine, the figure is somewhere in the region of 20,000. This certainly leaves us asking why so many people want to cling to the past the way they do. I have to note at this point that the actual website, continues to secure Mr X's anonymity. She sounds like Lassie's great grand-daughter from his accounts of this much adored pet. In fact there is not a place where we don t see the dog having fun.
