I just read that CC, the first cloned cat, died on March 3rd. She was born when I was in eighth grade, and I had to do a report on her for science class.
Would you have your cat cloned? Healthwise, CC was fine, but I know other clones have had health problems.
I don't think I would. Losing Charlie and Selene will be heartbreaking, of course, but having them cloned would just be putting an expensive bandaid on my grief. I wouldn't be able to move forward in a healthy way. Besides, there are so many cats and kittens who need homes. It's unlikely I'd find another Charlie or Selene, but I could experience a new personality.
Luckily, all this is far in the future (I hope.)
