 Although 80% of the public have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs,companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets. These petcloning companies make use of the grief of people who have lost their beloved pets,leading them to believe that their pets can be "brought back to life" or "copied" through new cloning technology.

  However,there is no assurance that a cloned animal will be the v same as the original physically,let alone in terms of behaviour or per?sonality.

For all that,you end up with a cloned animal that may experience serious health problems.
