South Florida Couple Clone Their Dog Lancelot

I can not condemn this Boca Raton couple Mr. and Mrs. Otto for wanting to never say good bye to their yellow Labrador Lacelott as they had his DNA frozen six years ago, mostly in the hopes of cloning him in the future.

In 2007 Lancelot died on New Years’ Eve at the age of 11 years of age.

We are talking about a South Florida couple that requested that Lou Hawthorne the CEO of Bioarts International of Korea clone their beloved pet Lacelott from his frozen DNA.

This produced a happy, lively pup named Lancy who arrived at the Miami International Airport to his new owners and the son of his father Lancelot. Lancy has all the genetic make up of his dad and Mrs. Nina Otto has her dog back.

The price was $ 150,000.00 for the cloning of a dog, which is very expensive and could buy you a home.  But the Otto’s already have a rather large home on 12 acres – with lots of pals for Lancy like 9 other dogs, 4  birds, 10 cats and six sheep.

Cloning your dog may well be in the future and if you had the chance and the cost was reduced would you clone your dog? As the future beckons us and as stem cell and research continues it may very well be a possibility to clone your pet.
