More #Biopunk than #Cyberpunk, but scientists in China have managed to clone dogs. What makes this project more remarkable is that they edited the genes with CRISPR before doing so, which means you could change the heritability of some traits

If this moves on to human trials, it has implications for preventing diseases from passing on and, less ethically, letting people select more favorable traits in their children
