Time’s Top Invention of 2005: Cloned Dog

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on November 24th, 2005

This past August, Dr. Woo Suk Hwang was the first to successfully clone a dog. That achievement is Time Magazine’s most amazing invention of 2005. Accompanying the article announcing this issue, the Genetics and Public Health Blog post, First Dog Cloned, Primate Cloning Next, is one of the links featured in the Netscape News Editors’ Web Picks.

Snuppy, the first cloned dog, is shown on the cover of this week’s Time magazine, in this handout photograph released on November 13, 2005. Snuppy is the most amazing invention of 2005, Time magazine said on Sunday. The puppy, a 5-month-old Afghan hound, was cloned at Seoul National University in Korea by a 45-person team led by Professor Woo Suk Hwang. Time’s technology, science and health writers select inventions each year they believe may have a huge impact.
