Hello Readers,
I hope you are all having a lovely day! I recently read the article that was posted for this weeks blog and it was shocking, but not. Does that makes sense? I was surprised, but not suprised. Technology today is such an evolving economy that it does not suprise me how much money people will spend to try and recreate memories of the past. I think it is very sad... I have noticed more and more these days how people spend so much time working and earning money, that they do not have any fun. It is like we are losing the zest of life.
I once heard a comedian have a skit on Tivo. He talked about how people now record shows and go out, when the whole purpose of going out is to get away from the tv! I think people are doing the same thing with life today, there is no safety net! One should enjoy life and everyday that God has given, today. I feel like people try to work hard and save time, money, and life for when they can enjoy it. But the truth is, the opportunity is to enjoy it now! I think people feel the same way with their pets. People get so caught up in everyday life and forget to dedicate time to their pets. As I have been interning at the Placer SPCA, I have realized what a huge commitment and responsibility it is to have a pet. I think that cloning animals is kind of a waste of money. For it is trying to help you enjoy something that is of the past in the present. Is this making sense?
I just think that money could be put to better use if people enjoyed the what they have presently. I actually new a family who cloned their dog and they were very disapointed. Although the clone dog looked exactly like their previous dog, they said the personality was totally different. These are just some of my thoughts, what are yours?

I absolutely agree! Although I am not a pet owner this too is an issue close to heart. These companies try and offer a fix to the problem of losing a pet but good results are not guaranteed. And what if the pet that is cloned is of a fowl temperment? The owners are going to despise it and all good memories will have been in vain. That really is what this is about! We as humans try and selfishly manipulate life for selfish gain and in the process lose sight of what is good, pure, and holy.
ReplyDeleteI personally didn't think about the money involved in this, but its more important to think about the benefits of cloning and the consequences. For me, I think that cloning a pet or a human is not a great idea, but cloning body parts that could potentially save someone's life is a different story. I think that we should be researching the benefits of cloning, but we shouldn't be worrying about if our pets can be cloned.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe you know someone who had their dog cloned! That seems crazy to me that someone would spend that much money on a dog simply because it would have the DNA from the pet they loved. You made a great point about how money is being wasted. You are right that people often work to save money to enjoy in the future, and that it would be to enjoy the money while they can.
