| Lennon's molar, which solkd for over $30k at auction |
Dr. Michael Zuk, the dentist who purchased John Lennon's molar at a 2011 auction for $31,000, stated recently that he wants to have the decaying tooth genetically sequenced, in the hopes that John Lennon can one day be cloned.
According to NBC News, Dr. Zuk has sent out a press release detailing his plans for Lennon's DNA. In his press release, Zuk states:
"I am nervous and excited at the possibility that we will be able to fully sequence John Lennon's DNA, very soon I hope. With researchers working on ways to clone mammoths, the same technology certainly could make human cloning a reality."
