I have been lucky enough to have had pets, dogs and cats, my whole life. Each individual pet is special in their own way, and I loved all the pets that I have been lucky enough to have in my life. But being as I think most living things (humans included) are in large part a product of their environment, even if a former pet was cloned he/she would not be the same as the prior pet. Plus with so many dogs and cats that are around today that are abandoned and homeless I think it would be better to be grateful for the time that you and your pet shared together and to be lucky enough to share a new relationship with a rescued pet and to have the old relationship hold a special place in your heart. How about you? Would you like, if possible, to clone your pets? rss@dailykos.com (BFSkinner) Cats clone Dogs Pets Poll Question _1737010 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 00:00:03 +0000 China is building an enormous cloning factory https://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/12/28/1464200/-China-is-building-an-enormous-cloning-factory There are a lot of people in China. According to <a href="http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/china-population/" target="_blank" title="">worldmeters.com</a>, there are 1,406,146,781 … 2 … 3 … people in China. Those are many mouths to feed and China thinks that it’s time to start <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-to-build-worlds-largest-animal-cloning-factory-a6749076.html" target="_blank" title="">cloning animals for food and other things:</a> <blockquote> BoyaLife, the company partnered with South Korea's Sooam Biotech and creating the 14,000 square-metre facility in Tianjin, said the focus of its work would be cloning gcattle to keep up with Chinese demand for the meat. “We are going [down] a path that no one has ever travelled,” BoyaLife company <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-to-build-worlds-largest-animal-cloning-factory-a6749076.html#" target="_blank">chief executiv</a><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-to-build-worlds-largest-animal-cloning-factory-a6749076.html#" target="_blank">e</a> Xu Xiachun told the <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/24/worlds-largest-animal-cloning-factory-can-save-species-says-chinese-founder" title="">Guardian</a>. The factory hopes to produce around 100,000 cow embryos annually – eventually taking five per cent of the Chinese market for beef, according to Mr Xiachun. </blockquote> One of the catches is that South Korea’s Sooam Biotech has a <a href="http://www.techtimes.com/articles/111506/20151128/worlds-biggest-animal-cloning-factory-to-be-built-in-china.htm" target="_blank">super shady past.</a> <blockquote> The planned cloning factory is built in partnership with Sooam Biotech, a South Korean firm run by Seoul-based Hwang Woo-suk. Hwang, once dubbed the “king of cloning,” was found guilty in 2006 of fraud and gross ethical lapses in his research and ways of obtaining human eggs for his lab work. </blockquote> Besides cattle the company is looking into cloning everything from sniffer dogs to champion race horses. According to the <a href="http://news.sky.com/story/1593461/china-plans-giant-animal-cloning-factory" target="_blank">S</a><a href="http://news.sky.com/story/1593461/china-plans-giant-animal-cloning-factory" target="_blank">kyNews</a> the public has some PR suggestions for the Chinese government: <blockquote> "Is this meat going to be sold in South Korea or China? If in China, please make our leaders eat it first," said one user. Another commenter wrote sarcastically: "This beef definitely must first be saved just for the central government leaders; only after they and their families have eaten it for 10 years should they deign to give it to us, the people! Really can't wait!" </blockquote> This sounds pretty good to me! rss@dailykos.com (Walter Einenkel) China clone clones Cloning farming Food Science scienceandtechnology World _1464200 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 17:58:37 +0000 US Business Loves Easy Money https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/9/5/777535/-US-Business-Loves-Easy-Money <img src="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3974/20090904079yayeasymoney.jpg" /> <a href="http://www.girlvsrobot.com/?p=762">Girl vs Robot: Easy Money</a> For almost any product and brand you may have in your home, there is a Chinese clone out there somewhere in Asia.  Common wisdom is that these are cheap knock-offs, but many of them are in fact exact duplicates that come from the exact same factories; a side-effect of offshoring. Although one may first think of the last profits from these name-brand knock-offs, the real implications are much worse for American business than a few pirate iPhones. rss@dailykos.com (derekmaune) Americanbusiness Business businessculture China clone Comics Dragon Eagle Economy Editorial Cartoons EditorialCartoons Globalization globalmarket Offshoring PoliticalCartoon Progressive UnitedStates _777535 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 19:17:02 +0000 [UPDATED] Doubt if McCain is a Bush clone?

The Vancouver MP and former head of lumber giant Canfor stunned onlookers when he arrived at Rideau Hall shortly before the Tory cabinet was to be announced Monday. Soon after, he was sworn in as the new Conservative Minister of International Trade and the Minister responsible for the Olympic Games in Vancouver in 2010.</blockquote> One word:  sleazy.  At least that's the only printable word I can use here.   rss@dailykos.com (Christian Dem in NC) Canada clone DavidEmerson George W.

But, I'm willing to bet you didn't know that human-animal hybrids are actually an up-and-coming method of understanding genetic diseases. How?
