Well I guess her $50,000 could go towards useful research. I recently watched a program on television about cloning and they emphasised the more practical side of the endevour.
Personally I see this as a waste of time. Only good to come of this is the money that could be recycled in the research.
If you loose a pet or anyone it's better for you to learn to accept that. It makes the joy of another pet that much sweeter. Replacing it and getting your hopes up for a twin of your first doesnt' seem that emotionally healthy to me.
The program I saw explained how the cloning methods that have been developed have allowed scientists to put only a portion of DNA into an egg and alter the existing egg but not replace it's DNA. It's resulted in a cow/cows that can produce milk with more human proteins in it. It would eventually replace formula and be so much better for babies than formula can ever be.
I can see uses for cloning but this isn't one of them. I guess almost everything has to find it's market and become commercialized before it advances.
