    I will watch, out of curiosity more than anything. Thank goodness for the DVR - I'll go set it to record now!

    We don't get it here but I have seen cloned sheep and calves before on some science show. I would never want that for any of my dogs or any pets I had.

    That was in the beginning. The results and health are much better now. I've seen cloned cows at fairs and they are fine.

    It's not an exact copy though it's more like getting an offspring of your pet or a younger sibling. They don't even have the exact same markings.

    Not really an issue of health or anything for me - I just feel each of my dogs were unique in their own way and I prefer remembering them that way.

    Agreed!! Cloning a pet is morbid - IMO.

    You just get the body, not the personality. At some point it would eventually dawn on you that your pet is dead. Maybe the clone doesn't turn out to have the same personality no matter what you try and then it finally hits you. You can't run away from loss and grieving forever.

    I have it set to record, I didn't realize it is a series. It should be interesting, in any case. I would never have it done myself, as I know there are pets out there needing homes, and each one has its own personality that I could learn to love.
