I thought about that with my Bay. He's got the best heart of any horse I've known. Would I take another one just like him? you bet. I fear though, that people who do clone beloved pets (and we know they will, one day) will be disappointed when they aren't the same. There's such a myriad of factors that make a personality... Would Bay be Bay without all the unknown events he had for the first ten years of his life before we knew him? Would he be the same if he hadn't gone through the hands of the backyard guy, Bob, the endurance racer, my landlord, and then to me?There was a made for TV movie about a family that lost their 6 year old son when he was hit by a car. They had him cloned and he was the same until he hit the age of 6, then he got weird, started having memories that were not his, started behaving evil. It was a pretty good movie. You are right, without the same life experiences would they be the same? Would I make the same choices? Destiny and fate can change in an instant.
