No secret here, I love Alfie -- the furry little guy is the non-romantic love of my life. That being said, when he is gone, he is gone, and will live on strictly in memory and pictures. I am not sure how I feel about the afterlife and reincarnation. I do know that bringing back the dead through science is, well, unsettling. CREEPY.
There will be other dogs in the future, and I will love them too. But resurrect Alfie? Whether a clone like Dolly the Sheep or a zombie from Dawn of the Dead, that is just creepy.
However, if you want to clone your dog, apparently you can. Time magazine just listed the 50 best inventions of 2009, and on the list at #22 is "The Custom Puppy", a canine genetic replica (clone) of your late beloved dog for $144,000 US. Did I mention creepy? And yes they have had clients already.
There's lots of dogs out there people; let the deceased ones rest in peace.
