I don’t think I’d want to clone a Booger
I would think that, for a generation that has no soul, cloning is a happy thing.

Clones are basically identical twins. Since they will likely be treated like their predecessor they will probably have the same disposition. It is simply a variation on animal breeding, and I see no harm, if kept to animals.
Cute as it may be, a potentially defected clone of a putbull is the stuff of horror movies.

Maybe. I don’t know how well this woman can replicate the rearing of these pups. I’d be willing that these 2 clones will be different from eachother if only because 1 will become alpha. That will mean that at least 1 of the pups will be substantially different from the original.
This Booger was the pick of the litter.
Lol
It will surely be a morbidly fascinating phenomenon.
Tangentially, how long before cadavers are "revitalized" electromechanically?
Identical twins are clones. We could clone Abraham Lincoln and it wouldn’t be Abraham Lincoln, just some dude with identical DNA.
