Booger is back. An American woman received five puppies Tuesday that were cloned from her beloved late pitbull, becoming the inaugural customer of a South Korean company that says it is the world's first successful commercial canine cloning service.

Seoul-based RNL Bio said the clones of Bernann McKinney's dog Booger were born last week after being cloned in cooperation with a team of Seoul National University scientists who created the world's first cloned dog in 2005.

"It's a miracle!" McKinney repeatedly shouted Tuesday when she saw the cloned Boogers for which she paid $50,000.

There has always been something disturbing, to me, about cloning.

Isn't the dog overpopulation problem bad enough, without cloning?

The only reason I could see cloning useful, is to keep a species from going extinct. Would it be possible to bring something back from extinction, using cloning?

Can you say, "Jurassic Park?"
