I wonder if you can clone a Chia pet? ( I don't know how to spell it).

I just lost my 16.5 year old dog last week and I would never even consider such a thing.

I know I would be very upset at losing any of my beloved pets, but I'm not sure I could do such a drastic thing. I mean would it really be the same to have a clone?

Question Mark

No, it wouldn't. A clone of your favorite pet is not your favorite pet. Scientifically interesting, but creepy.

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.

I've had a dog that I could almost swear was the reincarnation of one that had died.

Cool! if this was few years earlier I could have cloned my king cobra. Wouldn't it be nice to have the house littering with snakes?
