Yes, I agree! And like Azred said, a biological clone is not going to be exact same pet in its temperament and behaviour, because those things are not completely biologically determined. I had a friend whose family dog died. He was a dear little corgi or something similar. Anyway, pretty much the weekend after he died, they had located a breeder to get the exact same dog again and they called it the same name. Of course, it was a puppy and not an old, slow adult dog, and had a different temperament and wasn't the same dog at all (duh )! And they were irritated with it because it wasn't the reincarnation of their beloved pet. They really did that poor little dog a disservice by expecting it to be the same and then not loving it as much when it wasn't.
