In China, a cloning service for pets appeared

A dog named Kouzhi (which means "juice" in Chinese) is amazing and looks at dozens of movies and series that In China, they were removed for his participation.

However, the star, on the background of his brilliant career, is aging. And his owner would like the dog to live as long as possible. Or maybe forever. Before becoming a movie star, Kouzhi was the usual "mourning" in the streets of Beijing. So, like many other street dogs, he was spayed. Cucumis, 9, can not have offspring. However, its owner, a cynologist named Xie Yu, decided to save the star by cloning, writes Reuters.

"Kukhzhi is an intellectual property with social influence," says Hee

He turns to the company Sinogene, the first in China to propose the cloning of pets. In May of last year, the company made noise, for the first time successfully cloned genetically modified cod. Now, for $ 55,000, people can clone their pets and, in a sense, extend their lives. The executive director of Sinogene Mi Guidon said that such cases are still in their infancy.

"But we found that more and more animal owners wanted their friends to accompany them longer in their lives," he said. Bioengineering is growing faster than its western rivals, with China applying fewer regulatory restrictions. At the beginning of the year, the Shanghai company cloned two long – tailed macaques. Last month, He Giankoui, from the University of Natural Sciences and Polytechnics of Southern China, said that he had used gene editing technology to repair binocular embryos.

The Transformer in Biomedical Sciences of the Hong Kong Chinese University, Tin-Lap Lee, explained that there were strict restrictions on the use of animals in laboratory research in the PRC. However, there is virtually no law that applies to the cloning of animals. Therefore, the work of "copying" pets presents no legal impediment.
