Pet cloning...

I do like animals don't get me wrong I have a cat that lives with my parents, but I think cloning an animal is a little extreme! The technology we have acquired over the years is absolutely amazing. I think it is wonderful we are almost at the point where people have the option to clone a pet, but I think the actual cloning itself is just weird. Many people, like the one's mentioned in the article, refer to their pets as their "children" and I feel that if people are trying to replace a dead child that's really odd. I think that people should hold onto the memories of their deceased animals, but they should learn to cope and move on. A life is not easily replaced and just by cloning something doesn't mean it will have the same connection that your previous animal did. I think this may sound a little harsh, but why not just get a new pet and save your money?
