As far as for the rest of your examples I never said I did or did not agree with them.......you assumed where I stood.
My problem is where does it stop?? I just happen to personally think that if we start dabbling in cloning anything we open up a whole new world that imo no man or woman is capable of responsibly handling..........that is a lot of power to wield. Do I think being capable of doing it is very interesting and in some ways cool? Yes. Do I think there should be limits? Yes. That being said my personal stance is anything that has a functioning brain should not be cloned. Take it or leave it, it is just my opinion.
Ok, that part is out of the way so my answer to the other is for me that dog would never be the same. As much as I would like to have my childhood chocolate lab back I just don't see the sense in it. You get one great dog and then you clone it over and over and over again so you can experience the same thing for the rest of your life?? That's not for me. I want each one to be different and not know what to expect if for no other reason than the experience itself. How often have we all thought "Man wouldn't the world be boring if everyone were the same?". That's just how I look at it, take it for what it's worth. No sense getting heated cause it's just my opinion.
This is a small chink in your chain though. Cloned or not people have never perfected breeding so I don't think breeding clones would change anything. It may give you more opportunities because you can prolong the "life" of that dog but probably will never guarantee any outcomes.Mo.

I'm like an anti-clone
