To most pet lovers, that cherished "once-in-a-lifetime" dog or cat should remain just that. But new technology and creative business opportunities are giving some pet owners new options. Genetic Savings & Clone, a gene banking and cloning service for "exceptional pets", once offered to store a treasured pet's genetic material in the hopes that the owner will take advantage of cloning that pet in the future. Cloning opponents contend that an exact replica of a pet is impossible, as training, experience, and environment are keys to an individual's behavior and personality. Does this make sense practically, ethically or financially? Guess not - one year after this story they went out of business. Probably a very good thing!
