Like 'oh, she's gone, I'll just make another'. I don't know. Kinda reminds me of a very creepy horror movie I refuse to watch again. And surely $50,000 could go to something much better.

In addition, I would not feel comfortable getting a pup from Korea after reading so much about how dogs are treated there. I can't imagine the surrogate gets the best care post-natal.

JMO of course.
I agree with the last part of your comment regarding the surrogates. Those pups are being used for their wombs and anything can go wrong during the C-section (which it seems is the only way the pups are delivered).

I see both advantages and disadvantages in cloning and guess it's really an individual choice (like everything else).
