First Cloned Dog is a Father
I found this article in USA Today Online. Pretty interesting.
SEOUL (AP) — Snuppy — the world's first cloned dog — is a father.
A team of Seoul National University scientists said Tuesday that 10 puppies were born in May using sperm from Snuppy artificially inseminated into two cloned female dogs.
The scientists say the births mark the world's first breeding among cloned dogs, though breeding among cloned rats, cows and pigs has successfully been carried out abroad.
"Scientific doubt over whether breeding by cloned dogs is possible has been resolved," Lee Byeong-chun, head of the research team, told The Associated Press.
Lee said his team has cloned about 30 dogs and five wolves since it succeeded in cloning Snuppy in April 2005.
