    To sum it up, couple payed $155k for a clone of their old dog...

    WTF is wrong with people? A large part of our country, and the majority of the world is suffering, and they spend that much money on a dog? Get one free at the animal shelter. I cant even begin to list how that money could be better spent.

    donate the 155k to you?

    They obviously know how to invest their money, or they wouldn't have 155k to clone their dog, I doubt they need your advice when it comes to money

    Or donate the money to helping abused children, or feeding the hungry.

    I would love to do this with a healthy cat -- just suddenly throw in his exact clone right at the prime of his life. Would they be united - would they fight ... clones.

    Clones.

    haha, now that would be interesting.

    If a human cloned themself, and had sex with themself, would that be gay or masterbation?

    All I'm saying is you could get some solid necrophilia in with the missus after. If you know what I mean!

    Its their money, they can burn it for all I care. As long as they don't dress him up in sweaters that is.

    I think they've earned the right to do whatever the hell they want with their money. If they want to donate, then donate. If then want to pay for a cloned pet, then go ahead and do so.

    The horror of people spending their own hard earned money! I bet kids in Africa hate you for your 3 Big MAK a day habit.

    Who cares?

    Is this different than a person spending 200K on a Ferrari?

    Heck, at least the dog lasts longer and provides companionship.

    I don't know. I think I could make a Ferrari last longer than a dog...



    And find some other companions just from owning it. ;)
