South Korean Researchers Create World's First Cloned Dog -- Rick Weiss  -- Washington Post  -- August 3, 2005
Cloning

South Korean researchers have announced the successful creation of the world's first dog. The feat suggests that a market in cloned dogs, through which people grieving the loss of their favorite pets could order genetic duplicates, may not be as futuristic as some had thought. And by leapfrogging a seven-year-old, multimillion dollar U.S. effort, the success has clinched South Korea's quickly growing reputation as a premier center for cloning and stem cell research.

Our Cloning Policy, Hostage to a Stalemate -- Francis Fukyama  -- Washington Post  -- February 15, 2004
Cloning

Human Cloning Marches On, Without U.S. Help -- Nicholas Wade  -- New York Times  -- February 15, 2004
Cloning

The recent production of the first human cloned embryo in Seoul highlighted the price the United States and other Western nations may pay for their unresolved debate over human embryonic stem cells: if they lose their technical lead, they also forfeit the chance to set the ethical rules of the game.

There's No Monkeying Around With Cloning -- Malcolm Ritter  -- Los Angeles Times  -- December 7, 2003
Cloning

Almost seven years after the birth of Dolly the sheep shocked scientists and the public, cloning has shown mixed progress. Scientists have achieved it in more than a dozen mammal species but an efficient cloning process still eludes them. Clones are more prone to physical defects than regular animals are. And researchers haven't been able to duplicate monkeys from adult or fetal tissue, a goal that could help medical research.
