Bernann McKinney couldn’t bear the thought of living without her late pit bull, Booger — the heroic hound saved her life when she was attacked by another dog, and became her lifeline during a prolonged, arduous recovery.
And now, as she showed exclusively on TODAY, she believes she doesn’t have to.
The California woman is the ecstatic new owner of five puppies derived from tissue from her beloved pooch, which died two years ago. It’s a landmark case: the first successful commercial cloning of a canine.

Now we just need to clone Salma Hayeck and i'll have everything i've always wanted.

inb4 the drama over cloning

Grats to her for getting her long lost puppy back, I guess.

It's not the same dog, just biologically, but not mentally. It won't have the same memories, so it's retarded for anyone to want the "Same dog".

Exactly this, I saw this story on the news the other day, looked at my dog and thought nah, he wouldn't be the same.

[Tonka]

Definitely not the same. It's ridiculous. Now if she makes a ton of money off of it...then good for her. However, I still think she is a delusional lunatic.

[guartz]

twining pooches, double barks?

nothing dude, nothing?

[Beckwin]

cool that the tech is out there and capable, but I hope this doesn't get too widespread. too many dogs in shelters, etc.

OR, you find a dog you like in a shelter...but you want a puppy version/one that isn't all jacked up...BINGO.

It's getting closer and closer to the 6th day!

TODAY wakes me all the time, and this is what woke me up today. Let the dumb bitch spend her money however the hell she wants. Forget about some damn dogs, let's clone Heath so he can play the Joker again.

[Tonka]

let's clone Heath so he can play the Joker again.

Yeah! I want to see more of his magic tricks. ;_;

[Kobb]

Too bad you'd have to wait 28 years for him to play the part again, and who says the clone would want to be an actor anyway.

WORTH THE TIME AND RISK.

i wouldn't worry about it "becoming too widespread" when she sold her house to pay the 50 grand it cost her to have scientists clone her dog for her. also, lol:

In an odd sidelight to the story, reports have surfaced in Great Britain speculating that Bernann McKinney is actually Joyce McKinney, who as a 28-year-old woman in 1977 was accused of kidnapping a 19-year-old Mormon missionary she had fallen in love with in England. Joyce McKinney was alleged to have chained the young man to a bed in a remote cottage and sexually assaulted him before he escaped.

???

[Kobb]

How freaky would it be to be a clone, and discover a 'you' already existed.

[archibaldcrane]

Oh man this story just got so much better.

Also, she sold her house to clone her dog?

What the fuck.

I'm all for animal cloning, but now I think that the people who want it should have to undergo a psych evaluation before they are allowed.

[Kuya]

You're all forgetting the most important thing, which is the ability to clone
Salma Hayeck.

[Metah]

Don't clones age faster than regular beings? Won't she lose her dog again even faster than before?

[Kuya]

Why would they age faster?
