Oh no now they are cloning dogs.  In the news today.   :o

We are trying to help these big guys get placed and they will be cloning them faster than we can neuter or spay them.  This is a crazy world, is it not?  :-\

I was on a trip once and met a vet who told me that he had a milk cow that produced such a volume of milk that she was said to be the highest producer of milk on record.  A university got her and when she died, they cloned her.  She was brown and white and I asked him if her clone had the same identical markings.  He said NO.  Now that seems strange to me because I thought everything physical would be identical to the "host" animal.  Funny too because he said that her clone was not a very good milk producer.

  I guess I am really against it but I really don't know enough about it to make an intelligent decision.  If I really understood stem cell research, maybe I would change my mind.
