] People who hope cloning will resurrect a pet will be ] disappointed, said Duane Kraemer, one of A&M's animal ] cloning experts. Experts say environment is as important ] as genes in determining a cat's personality. And as far ] as appearance, having the same DNA as another calico cat ] doesn't always produce the same coat pattern. People are paying thousands to have their pet's DNA frozen so they can clone it when the techniques are perfected... Pet Cemetery anyone? I think that this mostly demonstrates that people still do not understand what cloning is. I don't think this is likely to be commonplace outside of pet breeding circles.
