  • Best Friends Again

    The four highest bidders in an auction held by BioArts named "Best Friends Again" won the chance to have their dogs cloned. The company said they auctioned off the opportunity to have a dog cloned because it is very difficult to clone dogs and they can only clone a limited number. The first dog created was Lancelot Encore.Homepage: BioArts International A couple spent $155,000 to have Lancelot cloned.

  • Hwang Woo Suk

    BioArts is working with South Korean stem cell researcher Hwang Woo Suk. In 2004, Dr. Hwang's research team claimed it had successfully cloned both stem cells and human embryos - a claim later found to be false. He lost his research professorship at Seoul National University in 2004 due to the scandal, but was involved in creating Snuppy the next year.Miami Herald: Cloned dog joins Boca Raton family...
