Anyone see the tv show or article about the lady that paid $50k to clone her dead dog? Or the guy who paid like $100k?
taking money out of the equation, let’s say it was very cheap, would you do it when your pet passes? or a past pet? In one sense I could see me doing it, but on another note, it wouldn’t be the “same” dog, cloned or not. Would almost feel like it would show no respect for Gracie.
Nope. Had too many cool cats. Look forward, in a sense, to the next.
I think that’s what people overlook. I saw a small video clip, and her ‘new’ dog doesn’t even look like the one it’s a clone of. So essentially she paid $50K for a dog that isn’t physically or mentally similar to her beloved animal.
Could have just taken the money and donated it to an animal shelter.
S
No. And in a way, I sometimes wish my dogs were dead by now.

Its simply not the same animal. All their memories of you are no longer there. If they could retain their memories somehow, then yes, id most definately do it.
Hell no.
Didn’t ANYONE learn ANYTHING from “Pet Sematary” and “Jurassic Park”??!?!

Perhaps you need some spiritual insight:
A priest, a rabbi and an atheist were discussing when life begins.
The priest said: At the moment of conception
The atheist said: At the moment of birth
The rabbi said: When the kids move out and the pets die.
No. Seasons pass. Move on.

Well, technically they shut down the DP part of it. Dr. Pepper company said they will be bottling it in Temple with no reference to Dublin. It is a shame but Dublin did overstep the contractual agreement with DP. I told my dad to buy some up for me to have this summer.
Thing is, I had a Dublin DP followed by a DP10, not that big of a difference - except in price.
Does suck.
Willie’s Place is now some no-name truck stop. Man, the world’s changing.
Yea that was an okay movie.
^ no comprende

I thought RV was supposedly to be some crazy troll? I agree with him on this, the pet is only the same in the genetic sense.
Hell no. It’s creepy as hell and it’s still NOT the same animal you’re trying to “replace”.
My dog passed away on Halloween this last year. She’s been gone close to 2.5 months.
I’m still trimming pieces of steak and whistling for her.
I’m still waking up and wandering toward the back yard and looking for her to be behind me so we can take our morning piss together by the plum tree.
I’m still snapping my fingers for her to hop in the back of my truck when I run errands.
I’m still dropping my backpack in my recliner real quick when I get home and bracing for her to jump on me.
This doesn’t happen every day but it still happens, and for that second when I remember she’s not here my heart bottoms out and I ache in the chest.
But there is no way I would ever clone her, it wouldn’t be the same dog, no matter what.
sorry to hear Brad that it’s still rough.
I sit here and wait for her to poke her head around the corner, or walk by her room and see her lying in her bed.
Every night when I say night to our other dog, I say night to Gracie as well.
Supposing the cloning process was actually successful in producing an exact clone, sure, why not.
