Just because you have your pet cloned, doesn't mean it will have the same personality or act the same. And in some cases it may not even look the same. There are environmental factors that can affect appearance as well. A&M cloned a calico cat and the clone had a completely different coat pattern. Also, cloned animals never live that long. Dolly the sheep died of an early age from problems that normally affect older animals. With cloned cattle, we don't see this because they are slaughtered early in life. But with cloning you are talking an aged cell and relicating it...so the clone is already "pre-aged". I just don't think it's a good thing...these clones are not going to live as long as the normal life expectancy.
I would never clone one of my pets. I want Lacy to live forever, but cloning her isn't going to bring her back...it would just be a dog that looked like her and maybe acted like her...it wouldn't be the same.
