I've lost a few pets over the years, as you do, but his loss still hurts the most as our time with him was so short. The only trouble is, I'm not sure cloning another version of him would be a healthy way of dealing with grief.

Exactly my point...I am sad for the loss, grateful for whatever time I had with them...but I would no more want a clone of a pet than I would want to have a clone of a family member lost too soon...eeesh, just the thought is kinda creeping me out...
& in my own smartass way, in my other post I was suggesting that with too many homeless animals out there already, it seems so perverse to spend so much money & waste good resources to make more...
