Carbon kitty's $50,000 price tag

"Cats can now have more than nine lives thanks to a Californian company that is the first US firm to go commercial and offer the public a pet cloning service."





At least cloned cats won't be subjected to the misplaced expectations and neurotic fervor of parents who plan to have their dead children Xeroxed. Can you imagine being a cloned teenager forever trying (or, more likely, explicitly not trying) to live up to the achievements of your deceased doppelganger, knowing that you're a fertilized-on-command biological rerun, a nostalgic whim in the guise in flesh?
