The clone may have some of the personality traits that were desirable, but may also have flaws that weren't originally there. This could render him unfit for service while also tainting the remembrance of the original pet.
One of the things that makes life such a wonderful experience is that we can't control the outcome. We must learn to appreciate those we love and take advantage of the time we have together because it is limited. If you can have all you want of anything it will cease to be special. |
I agree with you TOTALLY....well said, intelligent discussion
