The Cloned Puppy That Glows in the Dark - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Gaxiciverfere** · 04-27-2009, 03:06 PM

A cloned beagle named Ruppy is the world's first transgenic dog. She was engineered to glow red under ultraviolet light.[

At first glance, this sweet beagle puppy seems nothing out of the ordinary.
But when she is lit with an ultraviolet light, the astonishing dog glows in the dark.
Ruppy - short for Ruby Puppy - was one of five cloned puppies genetically engineered to produce a fluorescent protein by scientists. When placed under an ultraviolet light they all glow a deep red.
They were created by a team led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea, who created the first cloned dog Snuppy in 2005.
The dogs are transgenic animals, which means their genetic code has been deliberately modified rather than mutating naturally.

Dear lord, I wonder when petstores will start carrying glow in the dark pups?! I don't see why people feel the need to tamper with things that they shouldn't.

**Dndjzirw** · 04-27-2009, 06:43 PM

I can just see people scampering to the local stores to buy up these pups... not a pretty thought...

**loyalgagora** · 04-27-2009, 07:16 PM

**itepearce** · 04-27-2009, 07:25 PM

**SkatrySkith** · 04-27-2009, 08:39 PM

**NickGrass** · 04-27-2009, 08:55 PM

Who the heck wants a dog to glow?

**lorrieholdridge** · 04-27-2009, 09:08 PM

They did that with those fish YEARS ago, and those fish are among the most popular ones people have in their fish tanks. NO I DONT AGREE WITH IT. but what is the difference? http://www.newscientist.com/article/...ell-in-us.html

Maybe I'm just out of the loop... but what fish glow in the dark??

**lorrieholdridge** · 04-27-2009, 09:28 PM

They dont glow in the dark, but neither does that puppy, they glow under ultra violet light, the were engineered to glow in the presence of toxins, but they ended up being sold in pet stores and they are quite popular because they look cool in a tank. Thats why I got a scorpion, cause it looks cool under a black light.

**Thydaysuh** · 04-27-2009, 10:39 PM

I wonder if there will be any bizarro side effects with this pup besides the glow worm effect.

**lorrieholdridge** · 04-27-2009, 10:41 PM

glow worm effect.

**stunnyravytal** · 04-27-2009, 10:59 PM

Is this for real?

**lorrieholdridge** · 04-27-2009, 11:08 PM

haha, no one can steal those puppies. Thats like a puppy water seal. LMAO

**NickGrass** · 04-27-2009, 11:15 PM

Either way, I don't want to follow my dog around with a black light

**jeepgrandch** · 04-28-2009, 12:33 PM

The fact that the dog was cloned freaks me out more than the glowing thing.I'm not religious,but that stuff is just wrong

**mr.memo** · 04-28-2009, 01:20 PM

doesn't all that shit makes you scared of what will come next?

what's the purpose of this anyway? why was this done?
