Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2005Cloning
It's hard to believe that it happened, but now we have a cloned cat. I think it's very interesting, but even if you have the money to pay for it, is it right? I mean, all cats are unique. I'd like to have another Minka which I lost this summer, but then the newcomer, Cindy, who is not like her at all, is nevertheless a gem in her own way. And, the amount of money spent would have gone a long way helping people and animals in need. Merry Christmas to all of you! Carola ^..^ ~~ , =?`= ___ ) (_ << the amount of money spent would have gone a long way helping people and animals in need. yes, why not help a homeless cat instead of creating a new one??? I think it would be really spooky to have an identical copy of a dead dear friend. www.mimiforsyth.com Its all very Dr Evilish... I think we should stay well away from cloning, however I imagine it is only a matter of time before we have real Mini Me's among us. A scary thought.

While as far as I'm concerned people can spend their money however they want to, it does seem to show a certain disbelief in Providence that the next cat won't have an agreeable personality or something. >It's hard to believe that it happened, but now we have a cloned cat. >I think it's very interesting, but even if you have the money to pay for it, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >nevertheless a gem in her own way.

I can't justify cloning a cat when there are so many cats in our shelters begging for homes. > X-No-Archive:yes > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > nevertheless a gem in her own way.

Just look like it. I can't imagine spending that much money to clone any of my cats. Its so much easier to take one in and love it for who the cat is, not love it cause it looks like a lost animal > > X-No-Archive:yes > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > much easier to take one in and love it for who the cat is, not love it cause > it looks like a lost animal It won't necessarily look like the original. There was some animal that was black and white. The clones were also black and white, but the pattern was different. Check out madison.com and search the archives for 'cat clone.' The company that cloned the cat for the Texan (I think) lady is opening here in Madison. The local shelter has worked up a position statement on it, but the articles are interesting. Particularly the part about how it can take 80 imperfect clones before the "right" one comes alone. We can only imagine that the imperfect ones are killed. >Check out madison.com and search the archives for 'cat clone.'

Oh great......80 imperfect clones to go along with the MILLIONS of unwanted cats in the shelters. This just fills me with confidence in the cloning system. |
