Yes, why can't you just wait for nature to do it's thing? Cloning is just unnatural..it's weird. People need to do better things with their time.I think BioArt International...

YES....Last time I looked we were still a free country.If I could ...I would have cloned the GS I lost last year.
He looked just like Tracker,,,and prob just as smart!
I think BioArt International...
I would have to know much more about advantages as well as potential consequences before making an intelligent decision. To say something like this should be allowed or forbidden seems to be way too simplistic an approach.BioArt International should not be allowed to clone animals, Trackr's clones may have health issues
