Copycat, Part 3

Now she does not need to fear Smokey's death. Savings and Clone will give her a new Smokey.

If you wish to go on to have a clone made from the DNA, the price is fifty thousand dollars. So far, five people have paid Savings and Clone to clone their cats. Now they have to wait. The cloning process is complex. The original cat clone, Cc, needed over eighty attempts before the cat was born.

Lou Hawthorne is Manager of Genetic Savings and Clone. He says he is sure that the process will work. Mr. Hawthorne says, 'Genetically you are getting the same animal back. ' A cloned animal is genetically the same as its parent. But that does not mean that it will behave in exactly the same way. Two animals may have the same genes. But animal experts say that the environment is important to animal development. They say that way the animal is treated will have an effect on its behaviour. David Magnus is head of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University. He said, 'The people who want this process are spending a lot of money to get a copy of their animal. They want an animal exactly like the one they have lost. But this is not possible'. All of this may well make us want to ask questions. Is it right that people spend large sums of money on making copies of cats when so many people in the world have nothing to eat?
