$150,000 to clone your Fido

Is he real or is he a clone? If you have to put your dog to sleep, Dr. Lee Byeong-chun, a previously disgraced stem cell scientist, is offering to clone your Fido for about $150,000. Professor Lee was the scientist who created the world's first cloned canine.

I'm curious if this is something of interest to many Activerainers. Would you spend $150,000 to give your Fido a second life? A better question, would he be Fido, Fido Jr. or Buster?

I love my dogs dearly, but that's going a little too far.. and $150,000! That money could be spent in so many more needed ways.

Would the cost be a little cheaper for a goldfish or a turtle? How much for a prized mule that the neighbors uncle used to wrestle at the fair?

I guess if you love your pet, I would think having them stuffed would be cheaper. I myself would never do that. That is enough for a house or 6 months of gas for my car. LOL.

I can payoff my house, car, all credit cards, student loan, probably 10 years of fuel for my car since I only put about 25 miles per month on it, and take a month's vacation with extra money spend. I love my dogs but, there is a thing called, The Circle of Life."

I sure hope no person in their right mind would do this. I don't even think I would clone my children let alone my wonderful dogs. I agree with the circle of life and that is taking a huge risk on one mans ability. Who really knows what the outcome would be.

Very interesting thoughts, ideas and comments! What about cloned food?

According to research conducted by the industry-supported International Food Information Council (IFIC), 59% of respondents wouldn't buy foods from cloned animals or their offspring even if the FDA said it was safe. Only 16 percent of U.S. adults hold a favorable impression of animal cloning.
