If you have ever had a pet, you understand the strong bonds that form between animal lovers and their pets. They are bonds that are reinforced by biology, as hormones are released during bonding. These hormones are natural and beneficial. When your pet means that much to you, it is only natural to want to consider cloning your pet when it is gone. Pet cloning is an effective way to continue an

The cloning of pets is still a very new technology, but already some very worthy pets have been cloned and successful clone pets have been created. In a demonstration of the best possible use of this emerging technology, cloning companies are creating clone pets of dogs that have enriched, aided, and even saved lives. The genetic makeup of the original dogs, along with careful training, has made

It is ridiculous to oppose cloning of pets when breeding is as widely accepted as it is in our culture. Breeding is a process that is completely controlled by humans and has been conducted for centuries. Breeders can choose the features that allow animals to fit their criteria and maximize their potential. Those are exactly the reasons that some pet cloning companies give for creating clone dogs.

Top 5 Contributions of Animal Cloning5. Increased Knowledge of Dog and Cat Physiology – Before they were able to clone a pet, scientists had to learn the intricacies of cat and dog reproductive physiology. Before animal cloning endeavors, this area had not been extensively explored, due to lack of funding. Increased knowledge of cat and dog reproductive physiology will help in the development of

Animal rights activists who oppose pet cloning are clearly misinformed about the process, and they fail to consider the benefits of cloning animals. Pet cloning is not harmful to the animals involved, and it does not add to the homeless pet population. Through the issue of pet cloning, society is beginning to view pets as beings that deserve acknowledgement, respect, and rights. Pet cloning is

Bernann McKinney's dog, Booger, saved her life when she was brutally attacked by another dog. Even though the dog was three times his size, Booger managed to scare him off. Both McKinney and Booger sustained injuries, hers more serious than the dog's. When Booger was fully recovered, he went to work helping McKinney recover. Although he was not trained as a service dog, he learned to help her

As the topic of pet cloning becomes more widely discussed and debated, those who oppose it spread unfounded arguments about why you should not clone your pet. Two of the most commonly used arguments against pet cloning are based on faulty reasoning. Opponents of pet cloning say that the cloning process is unethical because companies that will clone your pet deceive consumers and because large

In the brief history of human existence, many amazing scientific advancements have been attained that have made life easier. Emerging technologies are not always welcomed wholeheartedly by society, and in fact, they are often controversial or even feared when they are first introduced. Currently, to clone your pet is a controversial action, but cloning technologies are the next big step in

In light of the recent attention paid to the subject of human stem cell research, it seems appropriate to highlight the potential benefits to humans of cloning animals. In order to clone your pet, scientists have done extensive research on canine and feline physiology and the cloning process, and continue to do so. This research broadens the knowledge base on the subject of cloning animals and

People who would like to take away your right to clone your pet claim that cloning animals is unnatural and should be outlawed. That statement is untrue and misleading. In fact, cloning happens in nature. Like clones, identical twins are two offspring that share identical genetic information. Furthermore, twinning is not limited to the human species – many species of animals, including dogs and

President Obama had good news for the scientific community and the American public on Monday: he reversed the ban on federal funding of stem cell research. This is is an important development and something to take note of if you might like to clone your pet. In lifting the ban on funding this research, the president has established a tolerant tone on the issue of cloning. In addition,

Unfortunately, all the information that is available on the Internet is not subject to fact checking. I know how difficult it can be to determine the validity of some statements, so I would like to take this opportunity to respond to some of the arguments made by people who do not want you to clone your pet.Claim: It is irresponsible to clone your pet when there are so many stray animals and

An amazing scientific accomplishment is set to make a major impact on the debate on cloning ethics, and it could change your mind about whether or not you would clone your pet. Earlier this month, National Geographic News ran an article about the first successful clone of an extinct species. The clone was a bucardo, a Spanish animal that went extinct in 2000. It died within minutes of birth, but

Opponents of cloning animals will tell you that it is wrong to clone your pet because there are millions of homeless pets in animal shelters, waiting to be adopted. Not only does pet cloning deny those animals precious homes, but it is also costly, and the money would be better spent by donation to a shelter. This would be a compelling argument, if in fact, the opposite were not true.Actually,

On the morning of September 12, 2001, James Symington and his dog, Trakr, arrived at Ground Zero in New York City. Trakr and Symington, a former Canadian police officer, were among the first volunteer rescue teams to arrive on the scene after the World Trade Center attacks, and Trakr is credited with finding the last survivor in the rubble. In recognition of his outstanding achievement, the

Did you know that other than mice, dogs share more disease patterns with humans than any other animal? If you are weighing pet cloning pros and cons, that is an important fact to consider. In attempting to further the science of the cloning process, scientists have studied many aspects of canine physiology. The knowledge that they have gained has added not only to that of the cloning process, but
