South Korea’s Dog Cloning Industry
Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is hard. Lamech Lai, a Taiwanese botanist, artist, and spiritual teacher, became convinced that his dog wanted to be reborn after death. That led him to find Sooam Biotech, a Korean company that clones dogs. Helmed by controversial researcher Dr. Hwang Woo-suk, the lab charges $100,000 per clone. VICE News travels to Korea and Taiwan to follow the dog cloning process, and examine a business that pushes the frontiers of science, as well as the limits of bioethics.

Indonesians are Trying to Make Crypto Halal
Cryptocurrency is booming in Indonesia, with millions of Indonesians looking to crypto investments as a way of making quick money after two years of pandemic-fueled economic decline.

We investigate the religious dilemma at the heart of crypto’s future in Indonesia, speaking with Islamic clerics, working class Indonesians attempting to use crypto to supplement reduced incomes, and a Sharia financial planner who champions the compatibility of Old Testament religion with this latest financial technology.
