$100,000 to clone my dog?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30960points) June 13th, 2013

So, at $100,000.00 USD to clone my dog, I best start saving huh? Let’s see… Pitch has maybe another five good years to live. So that’s only $384 per week that I need to save up 260 weeks… Only $54 per day for five years!

So cancel college for son #2. Lose the house. Stop going to strip clubs. No more guilt tithing to the church. Stop feeding the cat? poor Leica.

I think I can do this!

Anyone know of a cheaper solution? Is there an economy cloning service out there anywhere?

Even a clone wouldn’t guarantee the same temperament. Better to find out if Pitch has breeding relatives.
College may not be the best investment but please don’t starve the cat. They have ways of reciprocating

Yes… have your college educated son pay for the cloning in five years. Also dogs don’t live too long so you would need 4 or 5 clones every few years… Also a cheaper method is harvesting an egg and a sperm sample before you bury the dog and have a surrogate dog carry the dog embryo.

Save your money. One big problem with cloning is that if you clone an old animal the genes of clone will be old as well since it is a nearly exact copy of the old animal. Therefore the clone will not live long and be prove to developing disease.

I would hope a company that charges 100k per customer could afford to pay someone to make their website. That site looks like shit.

Gosh imagine that, perhaps we could then clone people too. I sure would like to spend that money on a few people I miss that are sadly departed. Perhaps this is for the rich and famous and ‘have loads of spare cash around’ crowd.

I’m amazed at how many times I walk down the street and see someone driving by with my chocolate lab hanging her head out their car window. WTF kind of conspiracy is going on! And give me my dog back.

You don’t really want to clone your pet. It would not be the same creature with the same soul and experiences.

Too sci-fi creepy for me. No thanks. Don’t mess with mother nature unless you want to deal with the monsters that will arise.
