Would You Clone A Pet For 50K?
 

And would you name it the same? I'd pay thousands for my cat Oscar if she needed it,but 50k I would have to say good bye.Pets are like family,get pet insurance. I have seen people get them stuffed,There is a bulldog down the street sitting in the front yard. Weird when you walk by and it's stuffed.Interesting blog

I watched that show. I love my animals like family but I'm not sure I'd clone them.

if it was a show dog

can we clone models too, that could be usefull

hell no i would not

Maybe a Penthouse Pet! :-)

if you clone a pet, it's not the same pet. It would be like having an identical twin born at a different date.

anyone that knows twins knows although similar, they are not the same people. Pets would be the same. Experience plays a lot into who someone is, and it's always different for every person/pet

Agreed.

Would be better off adopting a new one and giving that a good life, than spending money on a clone...

We adopt street urchins

The clones of farm animals that have been done as experiments turned out to prematurely age as if they haven't got the process correct yet.

it wouldnt be the same animal and would most likelt just make me sad and miss the original more.

we can play with science but we can never recreate the life and personality of our animals.

I won't clone my dog!

i wouldn't, i think it's not the same

No, but i'd consider it 5 years from now when it only costs 2000 to do ;)

Clones are genetic copies, not copies. Your cloned pet would look the same and have the same genetic traits, but they would be completely different with nothing carried-over from the former self. Influence from hundreds of random events in daily life will make any clone into a unique being. It would be $50,000 wasted.

Better to look for offspring of Fluffy instead.

i would clone biggest pig in ambar

No - as said may look identical but it would all be lost shortly since you can't clone a personality or what they've learned to make them that special pet

i'd clone my wallet or bank accout several times

I'm a clone

If you put the genetically identical animal in the same environment (Your home) then you're going to get something very, very similar indeed, let's not overestimate the personality of a cat or a dog.

I still have a whisker from my old cat, maybe when it's cheaper and the bugs (Like the ageing) are solved.

I believe Koreans are cloning drug sniffing dogs because they wanted more reliability and the champion drug sniffer's clones are better than random dogs trained from scratch.

yeah that's what i was thinking too.. the variables are much smaller when you are talking about dogs especially... especially if you train it relatively the same.

can't train a cat though.
