Hi Deb: Thanks for your comments, that is a good question but I think for $ 150,000.00 – it better be real. Now if that were the case would there be a DNA test to ensure they got a clone of their dog? keep the dialogue going because these are very changing times we live in and the choices we will have in the next 20 years will simply amaze us. I am looking more towards the good that science can do especially in stem cell transplants for people and pets, which has shown remarkable cures of our current diseases.
Thank you for your comment.

I’m sure the dog she got back wasn’t her dog’s clone, probably just a dog that looks like hers. I think that’s ridiculous, and they must have more money than sense.

How amazing it is to ponder the possibilities for the future. Now that this can satisfy them. Wonderful. I congratulate their success! Money is to be spent on what brings us joy & satisfaction. They were able to afford to choose what they wanted. Their Lancelot back. How neat they can do this.

Hi Denise: You share the sentiments of most pet owners, but others just can’t say goodbye to their pets -at any cost. I have met some people that still have shrines with pictures, the dog collar, and tags all in a special place in memorials to their favorite pet. Others say that one special pet was their favorite and there could never be another like them, so as science drags us -some unwillingly into the next millenium who knows what will be – in the next 100 years!
A bold start to unbelievable possibilities. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Teri

No, I could not clone my dog. I still miss my one dog who was the most amazing dog I ever had, and I have had some great pets. But I just appreciate the time I had with him. And know that more great pets will walk through my front door that need a home and love.

I am glad that stem cell research can go ahead. Denise
