This is a really questionable thing. I for one don't know if it is good or not. But it seems to me that when we start altering the natural than along down the road there will be some concern of what have we done?
This is just my thought but I know the government would be careful or
would warn us that we have the option. Taking away the option doesn't
seem fair to us who are really kinda wandering what is what. How about all of you that read this post????????Please post replys. Very interested. Question

Texbean, I'm like you are about the cloning. You are absolutely right of what can be down the line, and then there maybe no way to correct what might happen. I guess you might say I'm just in the thinking that this is okay. There are too many little things that could come from it. So I say
NO WAY. And I would suspect that the governement would think twice before not telling the public about this. Of course we never know what might have been done for us that we know nothing about. And that does
scare the heck out me. But thats just my take on it.

one question I have about the word 'cloning' is what is a clone? and do we not strive for the same principal as the scientist who clones via skin cells, when we take our Dog to have it breed with a 'Pedigree' so it will have the 'valued characteristic's' that are admired by the DOG affectionado??......

.....Think about what you do each time you selectively breed your dog or dress your dog in a skirt or jacket, is this a natural process in nature or is this a 'manmade' activity as cloning is in the laboratory........

And what 'Effects' will cloning have down the road on Society? Maybe we should ask ourselves what emotional effects dressing a dog in a human skirt will have on the children who grow up watching .........
The process of developing a 'Pedigree is to 'control the natural selectivity process of mother nature.... no different than controlling the reproduction of cells developed from skin......

......I might say there goes a clone to 'dolly the sheep' and be fearful and say....What If? or What's What because this is the first time I have experienced an 'Unnatural' event.....Yet we go around Dressing our Pets as if they were little 'human beings' our 'babies'.....What do you think a young person thinks when they see a grown adult walking their dog down the street with a dress on????

IF THEIR PARENTS DID IT IN FRONT OF THEIR CHILDREN, THEN NO BIG THING, BUT LET'S SAY THEY DID NOT DRESS UP THEIR PETS AND DID NOT PRETENT, WHAT WOULD THE CHILDREN OF SOCIETY THEN THINK???

....What do you think would be the comments about you the grown up walking your dog then???? There go's a dog in a skirt??? cute???

.....OR Maybe, there goes a "Clown" walking their Dog......

....Dog lover's think.......what is Dog spelled backwards????

Just a thought from a squirrel.....
:shock:
