Copycat…Literally

Is it just more or does the idea of cloning a cat seem really out there? Well it is apparently now a reality. I guess when Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned back…whenever it was…that fact didn’t ever really sink in with me. A sheep is just another animal, but a cat is something people can identify with. It gives Re-Pet (a company from the futuristic Ahnold movie The Sixth Day) a whole new meaning. Genetic Savings and Clone (holy crap, how corny can you get?) actually wants to clone people’s pets. And at a mere $50,000 a pop, who wouldn’t want to?

Makes you wonder at what speed cloning research will continue to move. Will we have to worry about human cloning in my lifetime? It’s not just for the movies anymore…a scary thought. They point out in that article that their clones are “unique newborn copies, not full grown exact replicas.” Somehow that doesn’t comfort me much.
