John Lennon Clone Is Worst Idea Ever

Two years ago, a Canadian dentist called Michael Zuk bought a rotten molar belonging to the late John Lennon for $30,000 at auction. That purchase earned him way more than $30,000 worth of publicity, as Zuk notes proudly on his website, johnlennontooth.com

Now that same dentist has announced he has Fedexed the tooth to "a U.S. lab" (he doesn't say which one) for DNA sequencing. "The DNA in John Lennon's tooth is easily worth over $25 million to the right company," Zuk writes. "It actually is priceless if it means we can clone the Beatle."
