Genetically modified fighting dogs Imagine: they take the best working shepherd - Belgian or German - and clone it. They remove from her genes everything that causes diseases, for example joint diseases. They add the necessary genes, for example, wolves, to improve their sense of smell. They put a bulletproof vest on her with sensors and send her on duty. Such cyborg dogs, by the way, are not science fiction at all, but a program of the American startup War Dog. And they have already raised 200 million dollars for him. Big venture funds and a fund that finances technologies for the CIA invested money. There are two founders. Palmer Lucky invented the Oculus virtual reality glasses, and now makes military drones for the US military. Ben Lam runs a company called Colossal, which promises to bring the mammoth back to life. The first transgenic puppies are expected to appear in early 2027. That is, they will appear in service in another two years. But the deadlines may change. Look, Colossal has been working on the mammoth for five years, and still no mammoth. But there is a mouse with long shaggy hair and three wolf cubs, which the company called "resurrected" dire wolves, I talked about. Many scientists generally believe that these are ordinary gray wolves that have undergone several altered genes. At the same time, money is flowing into the company: it is already valued at more than 10 billion. I think such fighting dogs and dolphins are ideas of the last century. Now there are drones, robots and artificial intelligence. They don't need to be raised, fed, cared for or trained for years. And most importantly, you don't feel sorry for the drone, but you feel sorry for the dog. There is one more problem. Cloning copies the body, but not the character. Even Lem admits that a clone of a great service dog won't necessarily develop into a great service dog. Much depends on education and training. Therefore, the project will most likely not achieve its military objective. But I don't think that's the case. Lam raised a lot of money for a mammoth that no one saw. There are far more dog lovers in the world than mammoth lovers.
