Dogs Cloned from Fat Stem Cells in Korea

There is no basis in using just embryonic cells as some religious groups in the past have been trying to prevent this research under the Bush administration. Those days are long gone as science goes down a brighter, successful and more promising future to cure all diseases to man and animals.
Dog Cloning uses Somatic Cells:
The word from Latin meaning “ the body” and the body cells or a dog or a cat are stem cells.
The beauty of using stem cells or somatic cells is that these contain a full set of chromosomes where as the regular reproductive cells only carry ½ of the chromosomes, which makes Somatic Cells more powerful and acceptable for transplants. Rather than relying just on sperm and egg which are gametocytes – somatic cells can be the key to complete disease eradication and cures for: cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, liver failure, spinal cord injury, paralysis, Alzheimer and all major killers of people and pets.
Dog cancer can be cured completely if only this type of research if funded here and abroad. If not here, research will be conducted elsewhere as in Korea and many other countries that are seeing the results of the power of stem cell transplants and research.
Wouldn’t you want to cure your dog of cancer or diabetes, or any other disease like arthritis and hip dysphasia? I certainly would do everything in my power to save my dog and as these treatments become more popular we will all be able to afford them.
Last week we spoke about a couple from Florida that cloned their beloved dog Lancelot and just days ago received their puppy from stem cells. They were willing to pay $ 150,000.00 to clone their dog and that is a very high price. This is not to say that when the pharmaceuticals if they had any sense would pursue stem cell transplants instead of drugs that have harmful side effects we would see an end to diseases in our life time.

Hello Karina:
Thank you for your comment and yes cloning of pets is a very debatable subject for all pet owners. I welcome the laws which allow stem cell research within the United States as opposed to having persons have to travel to foreign countries, such as the family from Florida who regained the eyesight of their little boy.
Stem cell research in pets especially dogs and horses has proven to be very successful and less expensive than a hip replacement. The benefits of stem cell research have yet to be known and progress must be funded immediately for we have lost the last 8 years of potential. Other countries will leave us all behind and indeed there are amazing miracles with Stem Cell Research. A woman from Spain had her entire throat replaced with no rejection and no drugs using Stem Cell Research.
The doors are wide open now for progress to be made and if we embrace the future – I believe we can cure diseases entirely. Please read my stories -the links are below this article and see what is possible. Thank you for compliment – stem cell research doesn’t have to be very complicated at all in fact it is far healthier and has higher success rates than chemo, radiation and drugs. If only we can release ourselves from the hold that drug companies have on our healthcare system we can heal our sicknesses. Thank you, Teri
This is a very hot, confusing, and debatable topic for all humans, especially pet parents! It’s a shame we’ve blocked progress and allowed other nations to step in as big players. Your writing approach makes this a lot less complicated and I definitely need to sit down and learn more about these projects. Very interesting article.
