[QUOTE=C C Kent;2170366]This is a great description of the dilemma in the minds of many who contemplate this. We should take into consideration it's not the genetics, the bone, muscle, organs, and fur that we fall in love with. It's the spirit, the attitude, the personality that we become attached to and want more time with. The very thing that cannot be copied through cloning. We may have the ability to cause the birth of another very similar creature...but a completely different one in all of the ways that really matter. [QUOTE]

CC Kent brings up a very valid point. There is no way that science can re-create the soul of a living thing. There is no basis for something like that to even be possible. The closest thing to it is having a dog clone, that will look exactly like it, but it would in the end be a completely different dog.
