Cloning isn’t just for celebrity pets like Tom Brady’s dog

Cloning technology, often associated with cloning celebrity pets like Tom Brady's dog, is also being used to rescue endangered species by diversifying genetic pools. Companies like Viagen offer pet cloning services for $50,000, while Colossal Biosciences focuses on de-extinction efforts. Cloning can help address inbreeding issues in endangered species like black-footed ferrets and Przewalski’s horses. Critics argue that cloning alone won't solve the root causes of endangerment, such as habitat loss. Despite her work in cloning endangered species, a scientist mentioned in the article wouldn't clone her own pets, emphasizing the importance of adopting rescue animals.
