Tom Brady's decision to clone his dog Lua showcases the advancements in biotechnology and its increasing application in personal life. Colossal Biosciences, known for its 'de-extinction' efforts, including bringing back the dire wolf and the dodo bird, has now ventured into pet cloning with the acquisition of Viagen Pets and Equine. This move positions Colossal as a key player in both de-extinction and pet cloning markets. The cloning process involved using a blood sample collected from Lua before her death in 2023. The resulting dog, Junie, is genetically identical to Lua, offering Brady and his family a 'second chance' with a beloved pet. This news arrives as the technologies become more mainstream, raising questions about accessibility and ethics around bringing back animals from the dead, or cloning new ones. The technology has been used on pets of celebrities like Barbra Streisand and Paris Hilton, pointing to the growing popularity of the technology.
