Would you pay $25k to clone your pet?

These people in North Carolina paid a company $25,000 to clone their pet cat. Assuming you have the money, would you do it?
I chose no. Everything that lives has it's time on Earth. My cat Frodo died 3 years ago, and I still miss him today, but I wouldn't do that to him. It seems kind of disrepectful, not only to him, but "nature" I guess if that makes sense.

1 답변Unless grade school led me astray (ha.), cloned creatures typically have the same lifespan of the remaining creature. You're working with aged material.

4 답변Just because it shares the same DNA doesn't make it the same pet. Every pet you own has but a brief moment of time by which it occupies. They are alive, not some commodity that can be replaced like a toaster. It's what makes them special. There is only one of them. There will only ever be one of them. And anyone who thinks they can replace their pet never deserved to have it in the first place.

I would understand why people would, but technically speaking isn’t it not a clone, rather, a twin of the pet, born out of another mother? Even if I was super attached, I would still maybe buy another pet of the same breed, maybe name it the same or something similar. Then again, I don’t have any pets

I’m no expert, but from what I know, modern cloning in severely flawed. Clones are often unhealthy and may not even look like the original. On top of that, they are basically guaranteed to act differently than the original, so the only thing actually identical is the DNA.

You wouldn't be reviving the pet you lost. You'd be producing a completely new animal with the same genetic profile, but new life experiences. Therefore, it's an essentially pointless act. If you can't let your pet go when their designated time expires, that's unfortunate... but cloning won't fix the problem, not really.

1 답변[quote]but I wouldn't do that to him[/quote]Are you saying that it would be somehow unkind to the cat? Because it would be a different cat, merely starting with the same generic material.
