Dog Couple Clones Family Dog

Couple Clones Family Dog That Died of Cancer

Quote:
MIAMI — A Boca Raton couple got a new dog, and it's just like their old dog. Not just the same breed and gender, but the same DNA.
Nina and Edgar Otto picked up their cloned yellow lab puppy at the Miami International Airport Monday night. Lancelot Encore was cloned from the DNA of the Ottos' late dog Lancelot, which died of cancer in January 2008. Guessing that pet cloning would one day be possible, the Ottos had DNA samples of their dog frozen five years ago.
The Ottos paid $155,000 in a San Francisco biotech firm's dog-cloning auction last July.
BioArts International created Lancelot Encore in South Korea, where he was born 10 weeks ago. The Ottos say he's the first single-birth, commercially cloned puppy in the United States.

OK, I love all of my pets dearly, but I'm not about to clone one of them. There is something just wrong with that whole idea.

I knew there was a reason they all look the same to me.

Well that's a very good point wise. but ask the same question as to why would anyone want to clone a pet when the animal shelters are full of animals, needing a good home.
These cretins paid $150 large to clone a dog. My god they could've adopted one and donated the rest of that money to cancer research. but that wouldn't have given them back "the" dog that died.

plain out and out VANITY. why did they do it....Because they could.

I love my dogs and would never want to clone them.

I feel when you already have had the BEST, they cannot improve or even come close to that.

IMHO think of all the good 155,000 dollars could have done to save animals in need? They will not get their pet back, the dog died of cancer which pretty much means the new dog will as well, and they wasted a lot of money to get a breed of dog that is fairly common.

Waste in my opinion. I don't believe the dog is evil, or will be evil. I just think its going to be a dog, a normal dog that way too much money was spent to bring into this world.

A clone is just like a twin, but in a different generation. It doesn't mean it's the same animal reincarnated. Seems like a waste of money to me.
