The American pet cat devoured a foreign body and died. The owner spent nearly 160,000 clones. In fact, it can also be operated in China!

Whenever we see our beloved pets leave us for various reasons, we are always saddened, but there is no way to avoid life, old age, sickness and death. Our beloved pets can accompany us for more than ten years at most. Is there a way for us to save the lives of our beloved pets? Let them always be with us. A pet cat in the United States has successfully revived him through modern medical methods and returned to his owner in another form.

A well-known pet blogger in the United States, she has a very cute kitten called chai. She likes this cat very much and regards it as her family. But unfortunately, this cute kitten died because of accidentally eating the food packaging bag. Facing the sudden blow, the pet blogger obviously couldn't accept such a tragedy, so she spent about 160,000 yuan. The price, which lasted 5 years, successfully cloned his beloved kitten.

Is this technology really difficult?

In fact, it is not difficult to clone a kitten with the current human cloning technology. It only takes 4 steps to successfully clone a kitten.

First, a piece of epidermis is extracted from the kitten, and then the somatic cells are extracted by the laboratory through scientific means, and then the extracted somatic cells are put into the egg cells to make an embryo, and finally the embryo is transplanted into the belly of the surrogate cat. Here, waiting for birth, the cloned cat is complete.

And the cloned kittens are genetically 99% similar to the kittens from which the cells were extracted.

Does the cloned cat look the same as the original cat?

Is the cloned cat really exactly the same as the original cat? The answer is no, although genetically they can achieve 99% similarity, but if you think you can completely get a cat before you, then you may have a big gap.

Because we all know that coat color, spots and patterns always have different expressions in genes, which means that even if their genes are 99% similar, the original cat will have black flowers on a white background, but the cloned cat will It will even make white flowers on a black background, and there may even be other colors we didn't expect.

At the current scientific level, there is no way to overcome this. After all, when identical twins are born, their fingerprints will be different, let alone this cloned animal?

Is cloning technology overkill for cloning pets?

Since the world's first cloned sheep, Dolly, was born, the cloning technology seems to decline rapidly after a period of extremely high popularity, which may have something to do with its inability to successfully clone people. So how far has the cloning technology developed now? Is the cloning technology that once shocked the world now only used to clone pets to heal the hearts of pet owners?

1. For the study of human diseases

We all know that humans use a large number of mice to conduct experiments in experiments, but mice have certain limitations. Some diseases that humans suffer from show completely different symptoms in mice. The current human experiment has caused these disease experiments to fall into a certain degree of stagnation, and the progress of their overcoming is slow.

The research and development of cloning technology has successfully broken through this barrier. The current cloning technology is mostly used for cloning dogs, because dogs have been with humans for tens of thousands of years, so that his nervous system has many similarities with humans in many places. The pathological manifestations are similar to those of humans.

China's first cloned dog is called Longlong, the purpose of which he was cloned. It is to study the disease of atherosclerosis. Its cloned object is called Apple, which is a human disease model dog. Humans have made Apple suffer from similar lesions to humans through some manual intervention. It can allow scientists to find out which drug is the best medicine for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

You may have doubts, why do you have to use cloned dogs? Wouldn't it be the same for me to find several dogs that also have atherosclerosis? Cloning a dog is expensive, isn't it a waste of money? As we mentioned above, it is very important to obtain cloned individuals with a genetic similarity of up to 99% through cloning technology, which means that scientists can obtain experimental data more accurately without excluding other variables. .

2. Retain the high-quality genes of pets

The technology of cloning has been gradually conquered, and it has gradually been devolved to the civilian field, which is what we call cloned pets. Therefore, so many people use cloning technology to make up for their regrets.

Cloning technology can not only be used to develop diseases, it is also an ultimate reproduction technology. Through cloning technology, the DNA of the cloned can be completely preserved, which has a very high role in protecting species diversity.

Applied to the common field in our daily life, that is the breeding of purebred animals. When we buy pets, we will find that the purer the breed, the higher the price. In Europe, their bloodlines will even be rated. Games are held every year. These pets that participate in the competition every year are also called competition pets.

During the competition, these pets not only have to test their appearance, coat color, personality, but also their genes. The purer the pet, the higher the score in the competition.

However, in the existing population, the purer the animals, the fewer their numbers, which leads to their difficulty in reproduction. Once they breed with a slightly impure pet, they will let their next generation lineage. Impure, the value and economic value of participating in the game will become lower and lower. That is why the purer pets are now more expensive.

Cloning technology can perfectly solve this problem. It no longer needs to find a male and a female. The bloodline is extremely pure, and pets are reproduced. Through cloning technology, the continuation of purebred animals can be easily achieved.

With the continuous improvement of cloning technology, its cost and cultivation cycle are gradually shortening. Maybe in the future, this technology will also be distributed to our ordinary people's homes, although we do not have the strength to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to clone our own. Love pets, but if you can bring your pets back to life for only 20,000 to 30,000 or 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, I believe most people will be willing to pay this price, and the future of this technology is still bright.
