A Canadian dentist has revealed that he wants to clone John Lennon using the DNA from the iconic musician's tooth.
According to the Mirror, Dr. Michael Zuk even admitted during his talk with Mark Evans, the presenter of 'Dead Famous DNA', that he'll keep trying to clone Beatles icon, until the clone turns out to be a musician.
The dentist, who bought Lennon's tooth from his housekeeper, said that he thinks he could "own" the late legend and the clone could be looked at as his son.
Talking about the legalities of the issue, Zuk said that it depends in which country you do these things, as it is not forbidden everywhere.
