It was on the Yahoo Mail homepage, and I was curious. Not sure if its genuine (if so I'm a bit concerned) or if its just a clever plug for Michael Crichton's new book.
Have a look for yourself if you like

I looked at the .com website and the ad for a treatment for "anhedonia" is definitley a p155 take. Its a plug for the book.

If it was for real it would have been all over the news by now and I doubt very much if the UK would be involved in this genetic breakthrough anyway lol

I don't know. I'm guessing that as a marketing strategy, it has to make propaganda of an existing product. Certain advancements are not as broad casted as one would think. There was a company in CA making clones of deceased pets and that wasn't in the news. It only got in the news when the company got sued for cats coming in different colors than the original one. I wouldn't doubt this is true, although I wonder how well it works. For instance, the dog doesn't age, but develops cancer at around age 8-12, but they didn't have one living long enough to figure it out yet! That would be a good enough reason for questions in the scientific community and not making big news.
How about you order one, and tell us if it is true (just kidding).

allow's smash it down Kurt Cobain - does no longer sing perfect, even if it is grunge guy. Grunge isn't about being perfect. it is like a punk body of ideas with only slightly different musical element to it. Krist Noviselic - he's a reliable bass participant. he's not any longer great, he's not any longer undesirable. Dave Grohl - A ******* outstanding drummer. effortless as that. it is in accordance with opinion, yet Nirvana is reliable as a band, even although their frontman isn't the most excellent. i'm a guitarist, and that i'm 15. i visit actual and under no circumstances using a doubt say potential smart, i'm extra efficient at guitar then Kurt Cobain. they purely paintings nicely as a band, and they were given this body of ideas that folk purely love. they're Nirvana, and they received't care what you imagine on the proper of the day

Think about it. You would have heard about such advancements long before you clicked a link on Yahoo. Great advertising idea though.
