If you’re too lazy to read the story, basically what it says is that some genetic lab has sold a cat-cloning service for $50000 (per cat) to 4 pet owners who wanted a cloned cat.
Something seems really wrong. How many cats are euthanized every single day because there aren’t enough people to adopt them, and not enough money to pay for them?
What if, rather than spending $50000 for a clone of your pet, you spent $200 to go down to the Humane Society and adopt one, and then donated the other $49,800 to keeping the other animals in the shelter alive a bit longer?
