American company sells cloned pet cats for $5,000 for moral controversy
According to Reuters news from Los Angeles, a U.S. biotech company that successfully cloned the world’s first cloned kitten earlier this year announced that it has formally designated a cloned male cat named “Little Nicky†as a pet product. For sale, the move suddenly caused academic circles to be upset. According to reports, the California-based Genetic Savings & Clone Biotech Co., Ltd. sold the cloned cat to a customer from Texas for the price of $5,000. Women. In fact, this Texas woman once had a companion pet kitten named Nicky for 17 years, but unfortunately died in September this year, and the genetics of the cloned cat “Little Nicky†was taken from this pet. The body, in theory, can be regarded as the "Ocky" oviparous brother. Ben-Carlsson, executive manager of Genetic Savings & Clone Biotech, said in an interview with NBC: "According to customer Julie's request, 'the small Nicky's genetic gene is entirely from 'Nicky', so when 'small After Nicky's birth, from a genetics point of view, there is no difference between the two, just like the same kitten. According to reports, the world's first cloned animal was a cloned sheep cloned by Scottish researchers in 1996. Li Li, which is also the first case of successful cloning of mammalian individuals from adult individual cells. However, it is said that the sale of "Little Nicky" is not the first commercial cloned cat. Before that, a cloned kitten named "CC" was fortunate enough to put on the first title. This cloned cat was born in 2001. Born, its buyer is now the major shareholder of Genetic Savings & Clone Biotech, billionaire John Sporin. It is reported that Genetic Savings & Clone Biotech also operates a gene bank called “Kitten Bankâ€. The kitten owners can send pet tissue samples for preservation and have been cloned in the future. The company also said that by 2005 it will open up a commercial clone dog business. Once this news was announced, as expected, it immediately attracted a voice of criticism. The American Way Initiative Association and some animal protection organizations have attacked the cloning of pets. They believe that the application of cloning techniques to the breeding of pets is a wasteful act and it is even more irresponsible to randomly clone pets. According to rough statistics, there are millions of pet cats or pet dogs in the United States every year because they are not feeding and they are street-wandering. In the end, most of them are unable to escape the fate of humane destruction by American animal shelters. The introduction of commercial pet cloning will undoubtedly deepen the suffering of these petty creatures. Pet owners will be able to clone their lives as soon as possible. This will certainly bring a series of ethical issues worthy of attention. According to the Associated Press on the 24th, the first cloned cat that was pre-ordered by customers in the United States has completed delivery procedures. This new life, which is entirely "made" by humans, is now being played in their own new home. However, its birth and sale also inevitably led to a new round of fierce debates around cloning technology. It is reported that this clone cat named "Little Nicky" was given to its Texas hostess two weeks ago when it was 8 weeks old and was worth 50,000 U.S. dollars. In an interview with reporters, the hostess of Little Nicky said that her cat, Nikita, who had been in prison for 17 years, died unfortunately last year. Since she liked Nicky very much, she saved her DNA data and handed it to the "Gene Savings and Cloning" company in Sausalito, California, to help them clone a "New Niki". . When talking about Little Nicky, who bought a lot of money, the hostess said: "It was like Niki was alive, and it was the same temper. General cats are afraid of water, and Niki is very fond of water, at this point The same is true of Little Nikki. It once jumped into my bathtub." According to Cloning Little Nicky's "Gene Savings and Cloning" company, since 2001, they have cloned at least five kittens, including the world's A cloned cat. In addition to the recent delivery of Little Nicky, the company will also deliver the cats they ordered to the other five customers in the near term, each of which is also worth US$50,000. In addition, the company also revealed that they hope to create the first cloned dog by May next year. While Little Nicky was playing at his own new home, his birth and sale also sparked a new round of heated debates. Many scientists have warned that due to the fact that cloning technology is not yet very mature, there have been many examples of failed cloned animals. Even the cloned animals may have potential health problems. Moreover, many people think that "a kitten is worth 50,000 U.S. dollars, which is enough for a lot of stray cats to find a new home." According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s December 23 report, a Texas woman named Julie spent $65,500 in the Giants to raise a pet cat Nick clone, becoming the first owner of a commercial cloned pet. On December 10, the cloned kitten Nick Nick was sent to her hands. The company that signed the contract with Julie was a commercial company in California known as the "Gene Conservation and Cloning Agency." The old Nick body that died last year at the age of 17 died was deposited in the company's gene bank. For the purpose of confidentiality for the client, the company did not disclose the full name of Julie, but said that she worked in the aviation industry and was very satisfied and happy with the results. Julie said, “When Xiao Nick yawned, I even saw two fangs in his mouth, like old Nick's. Little Nick like water like old Nick and jumped into the bathtub. The "Gene Conservation and Cloning Agency" is the only company in the United States that sells cloned pets. The company’s spokesperson, Ben-Carlsson, said that five customers have signed up for cloned cats this year, and another four cats will be cloned. But scientists and animal protectors have poured cold water on these behaviors. They believe that cloned animals are prone to health problems. Australian Gene Executive Officer Warwick-Ashby said that in Australia, the cloning of animals was considered to be a violation of professional ethics. For its comforting emotions, he said, “There is no doubt that only talented people can make money. These things, but whether or not they can do it is another matter, because the cloned animals behave in ways that are not the same as their samples." Carlson also reminds customers that cloned animals do not necessarily grow with the sample. Similarly, “We try to make customers understand that it is impossible to give them the original animal.†However, the company has always been happy with the cloning business and hopes to clone a dog after a few months.
