I wish I was making this up.
There are now services from Genetic Savings and Clone that will allow you to clone your pet. At this point only the service for cats is available, but other pets are just around the corner.
The costs are modest. Depending on the health of your cat it costs between $295 – $1395 (shipping included) to bank the animal’s DNA. This year they are performing 6 commercial cloning. The cost? According to the web site: “our goal is to offer dog and cat cloning services in the low five figures.” A bargain!
In other cat cloning news Allerca is working on a hypoallergenic cat (meaning you won’t sneeze). Price tag $3500. You can get on the waiting list today for a $250 deposit.
