A California company is planning a string of online auctions next month to clone five dogs, with the bidding to start at $100,000.
Scientists consider dogs among the most difficult animals to clone because they have an unusual reproductive biology, more so than humans. But the company behind the auctions, BioArts International, maintains that the technology is ready, and it is calling the dog cloning project Best Friends Again. It has scheduled the auctions for June 18.
BioArts says it has licensed patents issued in the 1990s after researchers in Scotland cloned Dolly the sheep.
Technologies like this are evolving faster than our understanding. One of my biggest concerns for the next few decades will be the problem of our technology surpassing our humanity. Where do we draw the line in controlling our technological evolution?
