Cloned dogs!

OMG, I've just seen on tele that a woman in (guess where) California has had her dog cloned. She now has 5 puppies. I love my Joyce & did my Peppy before her but I would never have cloned them.

They are/were both unique individuals and I would love to keep them forever but I just don't agree with this.

what do you think?

cheers

 

Now I am no scientist, and I am probably completely wrong here, But to me, if you take tissue from a say, 10 year old dog. Then you are going to produce pups which are already, technically, 10 years old. So they are going to degenerate quicker than a normally reproduced animal. :confused:

 

Sounds right to me, if you take a cutting from a plant it flowers much faster than a seed grown one.
In other words its already adult.

Perhaps things are different with animals.

But I dont think its a good idea.

In fact its a daft idea.

 

I wonder how many humans have been cloned your not telling me with cloning technology nobody has tried it yet.

 

Apparently that woman paid 50 grand to have those dawgs cloned...why the hell didn't she use that money to support Animal Homing Centres etc. Silly cow.

 

I have just watched the Olympic opening in the birds nest stadium.
I am now convinced that all Chinese youngsters are cloned !
I shall leave this subject now open to comment.
