Who is Leann?

Leann and I have two German shepherds and they’re bot wonderful dogs. They could have been service dogs, but did not make the cut. So instead they are our loving pets. The guide dog facility they came from breeds out undesirable characteristics and thus promote the good ones. The other way to virtually garauntee those desirable qualities or skills I suppose is to make a genetic copy of that dog. Be it for the intent to use those dogs as service dogs wether it be for guide, drug, police, search, etc….right on! But before to long I imagine it will be quite public technology and for the right price you could clone your own dog to replace the companionship from your last dog. That’s when it gets weird. Besides, with the dog overpopulation that’s the last thing the animal loving community wants because let’s face it… We just can’t afopt as many dogs as we would “really” like to have. So for service dogs that will be given the proper training I day it’s okay and will be an interesting story to follow with these 5 shepherds, but when it comes to cloning your dearly departed dogs I say not nevcessary. Have you seen total recall? Re-pet…creepy.

There are too many animals being euthanized in shelters because there is not enough homes for them. This is irresponsible but I understand why someone would do it.

It’s very difficult to tell what people mean. I can understand how you could misunderstand what Frenchie was trying to say. For all I know I could be the one who read it incorrectly.

Now let’s all kiss and make up!

I see cloning everytime I look at Pat Robertson’s (CBN University) son.
Just when we thought the wicked man would go away and die of old age………
And his son thinks JUST like he does, ready to keep up that empire.
Look at his son one day. Spitting image. Beyond spitting image.
If he’s not cloned, he should at least be a warning to us all.

I love puppies, but I’m not sure about how I feel about cloning. I hope they all stay healthy.

The Asian culture does give individual lives high respect.

I took her response to be sarcastic, implying that they don’t give individual lives high respect. If she meant what you think Ana, then I rescind my prior statement.

Just a reminder also, not everyone’s first language is English.

I’m very well aware of that, considering most of my family’s first language is not English. But continue to pretend like you know me, it’s fun to watch.

From what I understand, the personality is not identical. If you knew what was happening in other fields like this, you wouldn’t be able to sleep. I watched a special about how they are –this close to being able to produce human beings that are so far advanced than we are now in intelligence that it would be like comparing us to chimpanzees.

I don’t necessarily think cloning is wrong, but it does open a doorway into some really scary scenarios. How you could possibly regulate this I don’t know. Imagine N. Korea or a few others getting hold of this and developing a super race. Que horror flick music!!!

Sorry to rain on everyone’s cute puppy parade. Always the little ray of sunshine, here.

I didn’t think Frenchie’s statement was offensive. The Asian culture does give individual lives high respect. Other cultures do too as well…
