EVEN IF IT WAS A CLONE TO ME IT COULD´NT REPLACE THE ORIGINAL. 21 Jun 2009 14:43 Member Removed As the scientist play ´GOD´(once again) what gives them the right to take animals and USE them,because they do not have a voice!!! they are always used in this way. It is up to us to scream(at the humans who do this) at our loudest you ´HAVE NO RIGHT´ get your hands OFF!!.Help Animal websites ´PETA´ and Animal Aid´ and BUAV. This may be animals now but one day an excuse will be clone disabled and babies(correct the DNA),we already hear about stem cell..wot next..huh. All this tested on animals without THEIR consent. 19 Jun 2009 15:40 Def not you cant replace the your much loved pet with a identical one you would end up comparing it with your old pet. I remember poor Dolly the cloned sheep she was in constant pain though her short life. You could never want your new cloned pet to go though what poor Dolly went though i know i wouldn´t want that for a pet of mine 19 Jun 2009 14:32 i agree with both of you an thanks for your in put on this disgussion i will be startin another this afternoon julie:-) x 19 Jun 2009 14:22 I agree with both of you, each animal is an individual while it breaks your heart ro lose a much loved pet, can you imagine saying good bye to a dear old dog for example then imediately starting again with an identical puppy, afraid I never replace my lost pets I have another come in to the home in it´s own right. On a more practical note remember poor Dolly the cloned sheep? she had a short life spent in pain and discomfort from the many medical conditions she had. 18 Jun 2009 22:44 I agree with you Julie, i dont agree with cloning at all the whole point of life is the circle of it starting and ending and as sad and as hard as i find that it would be too weird having them cloned and made again. Every person and animal is an individual and i feel that cloning and having another life as that animal is messing with the natural order of things. |
