My personal (not family) childhood pet was a calico cat named Susie. I have always wanted another one because Susie was so pretty. She had the cutest little short nose! I have never seen another calico that was as pretty as her! So If I could have cloned her just for her looks I would have loved that! Pesonality wouldn't matter, I would know it was a different cat but it would look the way I wanted it too.
Isn't that one of the ideas behind buying certain breeds of dogs? We buy yorkies because we like the way they look, their size, and general traits? I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to believe that a clone would be exactly like the original in any other way other than looks!
That being said, I am against cloning. I don't think it will ever offer a solution to any medical problems. Clones have been known to have weight issues that the originals didn't have. |
