Dear MEL Topic Readers,  

Pet cloning is getting more popular despite the cost

Your pet is a family member. You adore your pet as much as you do. Unfortunately, the life expectancy of dogs and cats is usually not as long as yours unless you get a new pet at a later stage in your life. Some pet owners become so desperate to be with the same pet longer or forever. And where there is a strong need, there is an opportunity for a business solution. Pet cloning. If you take some DNA samples from your beloved pet dog, inject them into a donor egg, and put it into a surrogate mother, she will give birth to cloned puppies. Genetically, these puppies are identical to the original pet dog. You can enjoy very similar pet dogs to the original pet you adored. However, they may develop different behaviors or characters as they grow because they experience different situations and conditions. Some criticize such practices as unethical because there are many more dogs waiting to be adopted in shelters. Also, the cost to produce a cloned pet is as expensive as a luxury car. What do you think?

Enjoy reading the article and think if pet cloning will become more popular.
