China announced the successful cloning of the first cat

If you want to clone your pet cat clones, you can bring $ 35,400 (more than 821 million VND) to China.

Garlic - China's first cloned cat - was born on July 21. Garlic is a short-haired British cat breed, a work of Sinogene Technology . This company is famous for dog cloning projects. Thanks to Garlic, Sinogene Technology will provide cat cloning service alongside current dog cloning service.

Customers who want to clone their cats have to spend 35,400 USD, while the amount for cloning dogs is 53,800 USD. The company says it has cloned 20 dogs and plans to duplicate 500 dogs a year in the next five years.

This year, Sinogene Technology also participated in the creation of the Kunxun cloning dog, using DNA from the police dog called Huahuangma. Huahuangma was commented by the police that 'thousand children have one'.

Garlic's original.

Sinogene argues that cloning is a method of preserving the genes of animals, helping to reduce training costs. However, not everyone agrees. A comment on Weibo wrote: 'The body can be cloned and the soul is not'. Barbara Streisand herself, the female singer who cloned her dog, also acknowledged the temperament of the beast, which is very different from the original.

In addition to personality, the appearance of a cloned animal can also be different. For example, the first cloned cat named CC has a different coat from the original.

Cloning pets is a controversial business but has a huge potential for profit. In China, more and more people breed dogs and cats. According to the China Pet Products Association, about 50 million dogs are registered nationwide. In addition, as the country has many of the world's second millionaires, China has countless people who are eligible to use the mirror service.

Even so, scientists speak out about the safety of dogs used to create clones. They are locked up in laboratories, injected with hormones and often undergo surgery to clone embryos.

However, the above difficulties do not detract from scientists, especially in China. In 2018, scientists from the country successfully cloned monkeys and mice from the genes of two females.
