Four 9/11 hero dogs!!!
Trakr, a K9 police and search and rescue dog who was credited with locating the last human survivor of 9/11, was recently cloned as part of BioArts' Golden Clone Giveaway. Trakr's owners are being presented today with four perfect (and not at all creepy) clones of Trakr, who sadly passed away in April.
Curious how it was done? To clone Trakr, Dr. Hwang Woo-suk and his team replaced the genes in canine eggs with genes from Trakr, stimulated the eggs to spur them to develop into embryos, then transferred the embryos to dogs who served as surrogate mothers.
Mother Nature would be proud.

Millions of guys would love to be with Jessica Simpson. Thanks to an eBay auction, you can do just that. Sort of.
Just before a kissing scene with Dane Cook in the film "Employee of the Month," a background extra got a little something extra when Jessica Simpson gave her ABC (Already Been Chewed) gum to him.
Now you can take the seller's advice and clone Jessica with DNA lifted from the gum, or if you're a true fan, you can chew the gum yourself. Then you can at least say you swapped spit with Jessica Simpson.
