    NOT A CHANCE! i don't think they should clone dogs, people, sheep, etc. there could be undetectable health problems. making dogs suffer because you want a dog that "looks" exactly like your dog is uncalled for!

    No, I definately wouldn't. Yes, it'd be awesome to have another dog as handsome as my Frisk or Ethan, but it wouldn't be the same dog. To me, it doesn't matter what a dog looks like, personality is all that really counts.

    No. especially because it won't necisarily have the same exact marking pattern. Just pointless, but why do you say it's cruel??

    Nope. Nothing will ever replace my boys. And why clone when there are tons of lovely dogs in shelters?

    I wouldn't clone my pets, I would find it creepy, but I don't really think it's cruel if they could live as long as healthily as a normal dog (I know Dolly the sheep didn't live very long). I'm pretty sure dogs wouldn't have the self awareness to think "Oh, I'm just a clone, I'm not even a normal dog," they wouldn't know any different.

    I personally think that cloning technology is very useful (imagine recreating a human liver identical to yours in the event of needing a liver transplant), but many people are against it, so I don't think that it is likely that anyone will be able to pay for their pets to be cloned for a long time, if ever.

    I guess I have a different opinion than all of you when I say I would.
    If I could clone Angus and could afford it, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
    I know he wouldn't be the same dog, but it would be part of him.
