BEIJING — Beijing's boys in blue introduced six new members into the police force that you might have trouble telling apart from each other. That's just because they were all cloned. <br />CBS News reports that the young officers were sporting shiny new badges, uniforms and collars. <br />The six clones are the result of work between the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Public Security's Police Dog Base and private pet-cloning company Sinogene. <br />According to CBS, four of the doggos were born in the same litter in August. Their DNA is more than 99 percent identical to the two Belgian Malinois donor dogs. <br />The donors were selected for their RUFF and tough performance on the police force. <br />According to the Chinese authorities, police dogs lose some of their abilities as they get older, so naturally why not turn to cloning. <br />The goal of the cloning program is to create a K-9 police force with greater efficiency and shorter training periods. <br />The police dog base said it would be watching the cloned recruits closely during their training. <br />That's all good and fine, but when are they going to start cloning humans? China needs more of those.
