Cloning Beagle Dogs

There have been cases of cloning dogs in South Korea. Scientists in South Korea say they have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases. The four dogs look like typical dogs by daylight, but they glow red under ultraviolet light and the dogs' nails and abdomens. They glow red to the naked eye. Seoul National University professor, Lee Byeong-chun is the head of the research team.
He called them the first transgenic dogs carrying fluorescent genes. His team has identified the dogs as clones of a cell donor through DNA tests. Scientists in the United States, Japan, and Europe have cloned flourescent mice and pigs but this would be the first time that a dog has been successfully cloned. What is so significant about this is not neccessarily the cloning aspect, but the the fact that they planted genes into these dogs. Lee stated that his team took skin cells from a beagle, and inserted flourescent genes into them and put them into eggs.
They then implanted those eggs into the womb of a surrogate mother. These beagles were born in December 2007. Two died but four others survived. The glowing dogs show it is possible to successfully insert genes with a specific trait. They believe it could lead to implanting other genes that could help treat specific diseases. Scientists are now starting to implant human disease relatd genes in dog cloning, saying that it will help them find new treatments for genetic diseases such as Parkinson's.
Many people seem to be for it. Veterinary professor Kong II-keun stated, "we can appraise this a step forward. What is important now is on what specific diseases Lee's team will focus on." There was however some question on whether or not Lee's data was true or not. Due to scientist Hwag Woo-suk, whose breakthroughs on stem cell research were found to have been made using fake data. However they were able to prove that Lee's team cloning was genuine.
I believe this could potentially not turn out so good. I mean sure the flourescent gene worked for the dogs, but what about the other genes they later try and implant in the poor dogs? They might not work so well. Just because one study went well does not neccessarily mean that the other one will. We are talking about a whole different gene they will be implanting these dogs with, who knows how the dogs body might react to it, or how the gene will react to the specimen?
I feel as though scientists are always believing that they can do anything and the reality is that they can not. More importantly just because it works well with dogs does not mean it will work well with humans. Even though they did do the study on mammals,humans DNA does not match that of a dog. Therefore you could have a case where the implanting might work well for a dog, and then try it on humans and potentially have a very fatal case. It's just too much to risk I believe.
