Cloning was once only used in the world of science fiction. But now it’s become a reality, for the most part. I’m not talking about cloning people however, but pets.
Why Clone Your Pet? (Pros)
Some people who absolutley love and adore their pets would be devastated if their pet passed away. But with cloning you could bring them back. But they would only be back physically, not mentally. Some animals tend to be more friendly than others and you might not be able to have the same connection you had with your previous pet. Although some people might disagree, cloning a pet wouldn’t be the same thing as the original pet.
Cloning isn’t only used for when an animal dies, it could also be used to give your pet a twin to play with. Some police dogs that showed exceptional senses of smell, sight, and more have been cloned in the past as well. Cloned dogs live healthy and happy lives and aren’t more prone to health problems than any other dogs.
But Cloning Isn’t For Everyone (Cons)
If you have a pet goldfish, parrot, or any pet other than a cat or a dog, you can’t have your pet cloned ( not yet). Even with a cat or a dog no-one can be guaranteed a successful cloning of their pets. It’s a very risky procedure that has only been introduced to us very recently.
This might sound really cool and appealing but the price of cloning might change your mind. To clone a cat it would cost over $50,000 and to clone a dog it would cost well over $100,000. Now most people don’t have that kind of money just lying around. If a cloning wasn’t successful, the buyers must hope for a refund policy.
To clone a pet you first have to visit the veterinarian so that they can collect a tissue sample from your pet. They then send that sample to the cloning service and the cells re harvested from that tissue sample and hey are then frozen. When you are ready to clone your pet the cells are thawed and the cloning process begins.
