That's not fluffy...

After reading the article on Pet cloning I took a minute to think about what I hope I would do in the scenario with the couple and their beloved cat. Although I am not a pet owner I came to the conclusion that I do not like the idea of cloning. Not in people nor in animals. There is a natural order to life and when disturbed it can wreak havoc on the people involved, emotionally and spiritually. We are born and we die, simply put. As for the companies developing this technology, I know it an obvious interest of theirs, however, financial gain is their priority. How do they get the money to develop these endeavors? From the families, of course. They need "backing" and so they prey on families who are in mourning. Maybe i am a cynic, but making money off of someone's vulnerability is ethically wrong. Lastly, the companies can NOT bring back the same pet that passed on. For someone who loved/loves their pet and would like to have them live on in the form of an almost identical one, to that I say, " mourn, go to the SPCA, and adopt a new one!" I'm sure if fluffy were still here, that is what she/he would have wanted.
