Another reason is why would anyone want a genetically altered pet when there are so many wonderfull pets in the shelters that need homes!!!
I agree! that is something I forgot to include in my post...it's like the breeders, that take the homes away from the strays, that are strays because people won't do the simple and responsible thing and get their pets spayed/neutered!

also- cloning is just too futureistic...scary.
