Biotech Company Announces it Has Successfully Cloned Pets

Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his seminal film, The Sixth Day, you too now must face the difficult moral and ethical question of whether or not to clone your pets after they pass from this mortal coil. That's right. A company called BioArts International has just announced that they have 5 pet cloning slots available to the highest bidder, with bids starting at $100,000. This announcement is the culmination of over 10 years of research during which the company attempted to clone a well-loved dog named Missy. So far, they have produced three healthy clones of Missy. Below is a video of these three cute clones and a man who is trying maybe a little to hard to replace something he lost:



Although I'm sure this sounds tempting to anyone who has ever lost a loved pet, all I can think of is the old man's warning from Pet Sematary (or South Park).

Practical question: How do you raise puppies without a mother? Jess knows this well, not supposed to ween until 8 weeks.
