Meet Gem the cocker spaniel the face of UK pet cloning
Briefly

"Gem is actually a present from one of our clients, because she's a clone of a working cocker spaniel... she’s really quite special," says Lucy Morgan.
"Cloning animals is banned in the UK, except for research purposes. Even then, Home Office approval is required. As a result, Gemini Genetics does not conduct cloning itself, but it does facilitate the process..."
"Ever since Dolly the sheep was revealed to the world in 1996, debate has raged over the potential for the technology and its ethical implications," highlighting the ongoing discussion around animal cloning.
"Pet cloning has become big business in the US, with Barbra Streisand and Paris Hilton among its early adopters, illustrating its growing popularity among pet owners."
