Cloning

This weeks blog is about cloning pets. Currently, scientists say that in approximately three years cloning our pets will be fully possible. Gene banking facilities such as Genetic Savings and Clone (GSC)have developed, saying simply that this is what people want. Six months ago a tabby cat named CC (CopyCat) was cloned and they say it portrays all the emotions of a human being such as awe, inspiration, hope and anger. This soon to be possibility has brought up many issues. The Humane Society "condemns all commercial cloning of 'companion animals'", saying that it has no social value and my actually lead to increased animal suffering. They bring up the argument that we already have overpopulation in this matter and this will only increase the problem. 
Honestly, I fully disagree with the matter of cloning animals. I believe that death is a part of nature and we all deal with it as some point in life, whether with an animal, relative or friend. I don't believe that there is any reason to assume your pet, if cloned, would end up having the same personality of your original animal. Yes, it will look identical, but it's simply not the same animal. I think this process only causes people to hold onto something that they simply need to move past. I believe that we should use science to help keep us healthy and make us healthier, but once nature has taken it's course, that is the end and I don't believe we should try to correct it per say, by creating an identical animal.
