interesting stories. I don't think animals or humans for that matter should be cloned.

Sometimes I wish I were rich enough to clone my dog, but the new puppy would be a completely different creature with a unique life story ahead of her, so why bother? Why not just rescue a puppy from a shelter?
Cloning is scary in its implications, for both pets, wild animals and humans.
