Ethics

There's an interesting article over at SF Gate on a Texan who spent $50,000 to clone her dead cat.

Here's how the article ends:
"I can completely sympathize with people who become so attached to their pet that they want to bring it back at any cost, but there is nothing that can bring that animal back," Magnus said." Attempting to do so is unhealthy. It's trying to pretend that death doesn't exist, which speaks to a larger symptom in our culture of not dealing with death. It's better to just move on. There is no good reason why anybody would do this."

Is there a good reason for cloning a pet?
