Animal Cloning

Just seen on the news that a lady in America paid for her dying pet dog to be cloned and spent over 25 thousand dollars. shes over the moon of course but others aren't happy saying it shouldn't be done.
What are your feelings? Is it ok to clone animals such as our pets?

My 10 year old boy just came out with a statement whilst watching the news saying they should clone animals that are on the extinct list such as monkeys for example (who are also in the news today). So would you agree to just cloning endangered animals?

Please discuss.

Its a tricky one..

That there is a brilliant idea. Hey D you arn’t only a pretty face doll.

yea i agree, its a good idea, maybe an expensive one thou.

Expensive I agree, but if it was used say for animals on the endangered list then surely it would be money well spent.

yea i spose, but where is this money coming from?

Where does it all come from my friend.... the good old tax payers LOL
Plus if is was discussed world wide I am sure there would be funds available for such things seeing as many large organisations fund breeding programs for such matters.

i can see big organisations putting money up for it, but the tax payer aint gonna be too happy

I would be glad to contribute to something such as that..... after all man has made the animal kingdom what it is today, so only right man should contribute to make ammends.

yea i would happly help towards clonding, but i dont think the rest of the world thinks the same as us

The rest of the world doesn't this is why we have a debating section LOL, just its interesting to have different points of view.

Well said
