The dog may look the same, but it is not the same dog.
Dogs, like people, have certain tendencies, but are also molded by their life experiences. If I cloned my Corgi, the clone might still have the herding instinct, but he will wind up living a very different life.
People are shallow about how they look at humans, placing too much emphasis on physical appearance, and not enough on the actual person. It is no surprise that many people think about animals the same way.
And I could just go out and get another Corgi for 5% of the cost.
I also feel like it’s my job to keep the good breeders in business. Cloning seems senseless.
