I won't judge the family for what they've done, as I know the unrelenting pain that losing a beloved pet can bring. That being said, even if I had the financial means, I would never clone Freeway. I feel like it's playing God, so to speak, not to mention that fact that it's closing off my heart to love another animal that needs a loving home! We have so many puppies and dogs out there with no families to love them, why in the world are we cloning dogs that have passed on? I know that for some, just getting another puppy isn't enough to help with the grieving process (I know it wouldn't have been with me), however grieving and loss are natural parts of life and we are meant to feel it and learn from it. To me, it just goes against the natural order of life and loss...

Very well said!
