I see nothing wrong with it and people who are cloning pets are paying for the scientists to learn more about cloning. I think in the future, it won't be so much that we can clone our pets; it will be so that we can buy a specific dog, for example, a clone of Chandler the top Specialty winning Yorkshire Terrier of all time. Breeders will probably sell cloning rights to companies of champion dogs and we would know all health problems before purchasing. The only downside for now is dogs who are cloned don't seem to live as long as the original. The age of the dog when cloned seems to be added on to the clone’s age. If they can overcome this problem they have a winner, in my opinion. I strongly believe that a dog is more than its genetic code, the experience that you have with it forms its personality with all the little quirks. Sometimes, it’s the imperfections that we love the most. |
