BioArts International will next month hold an online auction to give five wealthy pet owners the opportunity to have their dogs cloned.
The successful bidders will be able to make a genetically-identical copy of an existing pet - or create a new puppy from the frozen tissue of a long-dead pet.
Bidding is expected to begin at more than $100,000.
While pet cloning may appear little more than a bizarre and morbid extravagance for the super-rich, it comes at a high price.
Cloning is still a hit-and-miss procedure and for almost every success comes a stream of miscarriages, stillbirths and premature deaths.
Animal welfare campaigners and ethical experts have condemned the move, accusing BioArts - the company offering the service - of exploiting owners’ fears over losing a pet.
But Lou Hawthorne, head of BioArts, believes there will be no shortage of those willing to pay for the chance to copy a beloved dog.
“It could easily end up being price comparable to a luxury car, or a vacation house,’ he said. ‘It’s not going to be cheap. But then the process isn’t cheap.” Via dailymail / AP

A Korean biomedical company RNL Bio has received an order to clone a pet dog, the first commercial dog cloning in the world.
The company, said earlier this week that it is cloning a pit bull-terrier for a Bernann McKinney, a woman living in California, using tissue from her dead pet named Booger for $150,000. It is planning to deliver the clone in February next year.
Bernann McKinney had preserved the ear tissue for more than a year at minus 200 degrees in a U.S. laboratory, while seeking firms that could clone the dog. To clone Booger, the researchers have used cells taken from its ear tissue and inserted them into ova which were then implanted into eight female dogs, Ra said.
The cloning will be conducted by a research team from Seoul National University, while RNL Bio is in charge of business operations. The firm’s CEO expects as many as 500 orders within a few years from rich pet owners in the United States, Japan and Europe. The Seoul National University team produced the world’s first cloned dog, Snuffy, in 2005.
