I often think about what would life be without my dog Sadie, and it kills me inside, but I would never clone her. She's a one of a kind that can't be replaced.
Sir James
That is how God feels about YOU
Do you know Jesus Christ who died on a cross to pay for all humanitys sin caused by satans deception
Jhon 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life❣️
remember our History
BC before Jesus Christ
AD after Jesus death on the cross
satan is trying hard to deceive the masses i pray you will not be one
I promise you will never regret a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ the one that created everything
even your DNA
The bible says he knew you while you were yet in your mothers womb God knows how many hairs on your head
God can recreate your animal in heaven i believe
your free will hope to see you in eternity someday🙏✝️❣️
@@DK-ik6fr this makes a lot of sense to me. Yahweh: (say in a booming voice): "You have all offended me. Here, kill my son so I can forgive you".
@@troy3456789 that’s how great his love for us is
@@csm5040 Would you threaten to kill your only child to demonstrate love? What do you think of someone else that threatens to kill to demonstrate love? This is supposed to make sense to humans, right?
You are 100 percent correct
There is absolutely no way this isn't happening with human cells somewhere on this planet. The prospect is just too tempting for Billionaires.
So glad you mention adopting at the end, too many animals don't get a chance to be loved. 💔🐈⬛🐕
I will agree with you, when humans start adopting and not having kids...
@@peterkrim6579 me too
I Guess the new campaign for homeless pets needs to be changed: "Don't Shop, ADOPT! Don't clone, give them a home!"
Spent the 40k on adopting and donating to your local shelter.
It's expensive to clone.
I adopted a dog from a shelter before, and it bit everyone I know. So, I returned the malfunctioning dog to the shelter, and then I went to the pet store to buy a dog that works.
@@johnryan6658 A bad musician blames his instrument. Adopted dogs need a patient and good master.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 yes, they need that because they're broken. Some people want a simple pet that works, and not a psychology project.
@@johnryan6658 Adopt a puppy! There's SO many unwanted puppies it's heartbreaking.
You can't recreate an individual like this, like you can't experience a day from your past again exactly as it happened. People should rather embrace the new pet and embrace the new days to come that you will share with this different animal.
I agree as cloning STOPS the natural/healthy grieving process which has larger implications down the road mentally/emotionally etc. I feel like people who clone their pets are just setting themselves up to have to go through all the pain again, if not more extreme because you never really let the original pet go.
you can get a new pet anywhere. don't clone it ffs
Cloning recreates the genetics of tht individual which means the clone has the same aged genes. This means the clone won't live as long as adopting a puppy
@@zerog1037 interesting I did not know that
You can clone an organism's DNA, you can make an exact copy. However, you cannot precisely copy their environment, much less their experiences.
There are so many variables, that a "true copy", would be impossible.
And, it's probably better that way (Did anyone see Pet Cemetery? Sometimes, dead is better).
@@uhhh680 Can you show any of that to be true, and what method did you use to verify it?Or did you just pull that out of thin air, because it sounded good? Maybe, even gave you kind of a tingly feeling? So maybe you choose to believe it, to maintain that feeling?
Or is it because that's what you were taught to believe, and not ask questions?
Or is it something completely different?
I'm seriously asking.
I really am curious.
You can definitely copy their environment & experiences, my cats were born in my room, i still have them, if I were to clone them & raise the clone in the same environment (my house) then it would be a true copy
Your ignorance when it comes to understanding nature vs. nurture is profound! When it comes to cloning, only the animal’s genes gets replicated, not the animal itself! Even if you raised the clone in the same environment as the original, it’s not going have the exact characteristic traits as the original because it’s only COPY!
What if you can clone the memory as well?
@@thenextbigthing1393
That is not how DNA works, at all.
How did a dog walker score $50k for a zombie cat? That's the mind blowing part of all this
Dog Walkers in NYC & D.C. make six figures.
@@zachjones6944 if its a genetic clone, 100% same DNA - how is the eye color different ?
@@TL.... The cats’ eyes are both blue. The thumbnail shows one cat with dilated pupils which make them look black instead of blue.
She prob from nyc
@@TL.... Things like coat pattern and eye colors are random in generation for cats even though it's the same DNA. Identical DNA will not result in an identical look.
Yes, because there aren't enough abandoned dogs sitting in doggie prisons all over the country...!
I saw this movie. It was called “Pet Sematary.”

Sometimes... dead is better..
LMAO
This is kind of weird and creepy that you can pick out little tiny differences but overall the kitties look exactly the same
So u think twins are creepy?
@@kenw1849 yes
Their personalities are different. It's not the same cat. Just a clone.
pick out any kitten and they're likely to behave just like their siblings. its mostly the quality of companionship as kittens that they get which influences their personalities. just like with humans.
Remember when Dolly was in the News for being the cloned sheep? I do.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 me too
Not true. Had a sibling (male/female) pair live with me for 15 years (from the time they were about 6 weeks old) and they were as different as night and day. The male (Bagheera) was chatty as heck, announcing himself every time he entered the house or a room.
His sister (Princess Kiara), rarely ventured outdoors, even with the kitchen door wide open during the summer months. She'd sit on the door threshold and just gaze outside. I suspect when she was young, she may have been attacked by a hawk or crow (during the latter's nesting season when they're particularly protective of nests and their young). She rarely vocalised and could be standoffish.
They both passed within months of each other.
If you were born into a different environment, you wouldn't be the same either! People need to stop thinking of Humans like machines, and other animals, we are not! Pursuing such things is a huge waste of funds that could be spent elsewhere!
@The 👺 Knows And I'm glad I don't, I don't assume I know everything.
I don't want to dishonor my dogs that I spent my precious time with when they are alive...
It feels like you are cheapening memories of your pets that have passed away when you attempt to clone your pets...
It also stops the natural/healthy healing process too.
I keep hearing that there are so many shelter cats out there but despite the local shelters all being no-kill none of them have more than a handful of cats available, usually between 3 and 10 at most. Maybe it's just my area where cats are adopted quickly but none of them tend to be there long. I trapped a feral cat a couple of years ago and while it took a month or so to fully socialize him but as soon as he was he was snapped up in a week.
The famous barrel racing horse Scamper (Gill's Bay Boy) was cloned. His clone is named Clayton, and looks remarkably like his "father", except for more white markings. He has remained a stallion, while his "father" was a gelding. Because he is a clone, Clayton could not be registered with the AQHA, and neither can his progeny. (Jan Griffiths).
There's no way for you to know they're the same cat unless you run genetic tests yourself with additional tissue samples from the template cat. They may well have just bought another white cat of the same breed and pocketed the extra 39k.
Minione is a good small scale DNA analysis tool, or you can send a pair of samples off to an independent company if you're not a geneticist.
I would like to replicate the cloning of a larger mammal, but I will start with fruit flies first and then work up to mice, then cats. I aim to also create a truly hypoallergenic cat in the process, as the few companies promising it for a while have yet to start offering the service.
I also thought this, they don't look like clones to me at all 👀. Best case scenario, they cloned some other cat of the same breed.
I didn't even know you could do this today.
I was thinking the same thing; that the religious nutters would have a fit over this.
@@troy3456789 They already know this, because all the books warn about it, and they are waiting for the biggest clone of the time
Antichrist (Ad dajjal)
@@IsraIsra. Who would clone someone else's genetic material to create Ad dajjal. Wouldn't that person be the biggest threat to humanity, including to him or herself?
@@troy3456789 Only humans are the biggest threat to humanity,. We become nuclear powers for our safety, while this will cause one of the biggest extension
@@IsraIsra. humans are a threat to humanity? I'd say first: communism and socialism (and their tankies) are threats to humanity. Next in line is Islam. Last of all: Christianity is a threat (even though most of it has been neutered). The love of freedom and objective morality, science & emotional intelligence success are not threats to humanity. No country suffered because it was too skeptical about the claims of religious nutters or communists.
It is a very tempting idea because losing our animal soulmates is unbearable even to think about. I believe that the soul that enters a clone is a different entity from the one that was in the original and needs to go on to its next life. Yes...animals absolutely have souls, they also are reincarnated time and again.
Yes totally agree they are someone else that looks the same. There’s no way around losing a soulmate, it’s devastating.
But it's basically like a sibling of the former cat... what's the point?
Sometimes.. ded is bettah..
I bet humans have been already cloned - crazy, can u imagine the mutated humans they have made that we no nothin about n just ended up in a incinerator.
Yes I'm pretty sure about that . I also believe many in the military's are cloned . They dont make many movies up for nothing,like star wars attack of the clones. We live in a very strange world for sure
I bet she adopted her original cat which had some trama at a young age and her clone didnt.
Well, some genes are activated by unexpected environmental factors. No clone will be exact.
Dolly had health issues issue was shared to clone
Still dunno why they don't resurrect dead humans via cloning when they are just another self-overglorified animal.
Just wait. It's going to happen eventually.
I'm so confused the girl at the beginning said I never wanted to bring my cat from the dead like one you didnt and two how did you not know what was going to happen
The spirit that inhabits our meat bodies is unique to each life. The meat body may contain the genetic similarity from an original to the clone, but the spirits/souls are completely different entitities. Chi's actual soul is already in heaven...
*Thanks **#NOVA** **#PBS** for this video.* ❤️ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 💕
As someone who recently lost a cat that had intelligence way beyond the average cat I did take a look at cloning and it was only the price that kept me from considering it because we could look at hundreds of shelter cats and not find one who would be that smart (we have other cats and trust me this was the Albert Einstein of cats, he completely understood mirrors). But in the end the cost was too much and we will eventually go the adoption route knowing that we'll just be adopting a regular cat, not a special cat this time.
NOVA! Don't make me think things through - I want to act impulsively. Me first!
Man, I want a clone cat just so I can say "hey look I have a clone cat" that would be rad as hell, not even a clone of my pet, just a clone of some random pet
@donnell188 man I just thought it would be cool
@donnell188 no, have truly connected to the childish urge to show off
I’d like my clone to be braver than I.
I didn't know the success rate was so low. And I didn't realize that a clone isn't actually the same in the sense that the personality or the "grit" ... the conditioned, lived experience and learning could make the pet so completely different that one could be introverted and the other extroverted. I wouldn't describe that as a clone in the sense that I wouldn't get my same pet again. It would be a different behaviorally. They say in the video it's possible that the clone could in fact be better. But it's equally possible they would be worse BECAUSE their lived experience would be so different. It's possible that adversity actually made the horse stronger, and by giving the new foal every advantage, it would not be a champion.
Coulda been worse. Imagine paying $35k for a clone of your cat, and you get a Boba Fett!
Imagine you are going to be a father, only to realize you had your neighbors kid
@Donnell O when MAGATs comment on nova they must be bored 6:38
That left cat in the thumnale is staring into my soul
How is this not cruelty to animals?
How is the important or relevant
Everything without a spirit will just vanish as tho it never existed because it is not alive.
Many identical twin humans are nothing alike in personality.
The needle is too big, I think that screws up the placenta.
This lady is clearly a trust fund kid
The movie my sister keeper the theme or suggestion about clones is used in order to save a girl that is dying of cancer..i think it was based on true story
I know when I lose my dog, it’s gonna be hard keeping me from leaving this world too. I am so co dependent on her it scares me. But who’s dogs are being used as the surrogate? Are they ppl offering their dogs for a price? Or free? Or are they being caged like lab rats belonging to a facility? I would rather leave this earth than clone my lifeline dog and support this at the risk of harming so many animals. Truth is, the bond we feel with our dogs isn’t physical or cellular. It’s spiritual. Our souls cannot be cloned and that’s what makes your pet so special to you❤
wait wtf?? we are always told cloning is impossible and given the example of the sheep (pretty opetic if you ask me). so that's false. is human clonign possible? wtf
That’s so creepy.
But for every failed clone there is so much cruelty owners dont want hear about .
Nature vs Nurture.....both?
they should know that already is like having a twins.
Exactly!
But then how will they collect Kelly Anderson's money? I'm beyond facetious but it's like Edison's planned obsolescence of lightbulbs (we now widely know Tesla had free energy for all but those seeking private fortunes interfered with his dream), or the planned obsolescence of cell phones today (and still lightbulbs)
Identical twins(monozygotic) are not clones. Their DNA is different and where a twin sepperates from the zygote to form a new embyro....a clone is sepperated from the blastocyst via the inner cell mass. Clones have 100% identical DNA.
The 6th Day Repet is real! "Im not a clone! You ah da clone!"
A product of your environment Has substance
opening an Overton's window
No doubt they have the potential.
But what if they don't.
Are those clones helpful or just waste?
What is waste?
What the hell are we doing with this.
They cloned Tyrone... and all those rappers who go to jail
Imagine dying then your family creates a copy of you
Can you clone a Moa?
"dog walker"
So much for “RePet” (SEE: “The 6th Day”, 2000). 😳
This is not a clone. It's another cat. You got scammed
Hmm, perhaps something beyond the physical/tangible comes into play in the creation of life.🤷♂️
How are we not talking about the gigantic needle that punctures the egg twice, stirs everything up and does damage? Maybe that's what is causing the 20% success rate here.
No one answers the terrible question, which is when they clone a kitten. - how many other kittens are born in the litter the 1 kitten is purchased ? What happens to the other in wanted kitty’s go?
Because it’s copying a cell won’t it only make 1 offspring in the litter?
@@ainsleygreen9263 nope, they kill off the rest, they have a queen cat that that Carries the litter than they pick out the one that looks like the original cat the best & get rid of the others, it’s so unethical
There's only 1 kitten born as they only insert 1 fertilized egg in the surrogate mother
No one who offers or works with cloning is going to say it’s a replica in any way other than genetically. No one is promising a personality clone. That’s just ignorance.
it really pisses me off that people can clone cats and dogs.
but I will never be able to clone my relatives. they were incredible very talented hard working people and they had kind hearts (unlike me).
Non of that of USA technology. Can't do that in USA. Idk the exact reason but I think it has something to do with Catholics or something.
People are so selfish. The levels to which they will indulge themselves is disheartening.
Sometimes it's the person who complained that is the problem
Seriously. How dare they spend their money on something that doesn't affect me and not on uses i approve of.
_“Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons_ [gossip]; _the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things_ [possessions]; _the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas_ [concepts].” -Henry Thomas Buckle (1821-1862)
_“How dare they spend their money on something that doesn't affect me and not on uses i_ [sic] _approve of.”_ -@nt
The triggered fragility of the _intellectually challenged_ is amusing. Clearly, you collected more _participation trophies_ growing up, than making the effort to learn how to comprehend the written word. Nothing in my comment implies what you incorrectly allude to. Go back to _‘skool’_ and learn to read.
Whether I approve of pet cloning or not is irrelevant. What is relevant, is, shallow stupid people, who think that by cloning their pet, they will get an animal that will possess not only the same physical characteristics of their beloved deceased companion, but also the same individual behaviour characteristics, that made their deceased companion so endearing to them.
Nothing could be further from the truth-pet cloning is nothing more than a scam devised to liberate you of your hard-earned income, for an unattainable fantasy.
You can clone physical properties and characteristics, but you _cannot_ clone identity behaviour-behaviour that reveals itself as an individual (not intuitive behaviour). Identity behaviour is built almost entirely upon the living experience of the animal in question. THAT is what these indulgent, narcissistic, selfish, fragile, unable-to-cope-with-loss, people, want.
Now, having said that, if you want to spend your hard-earned money cloning your pet, _fill your boots._ I couldn't care less. But DO NOT expect that, in so doing, you're going to get an exact duplicate of the companion animal that brought so much joy to your life.
Part of the process of living the only life you're given, is learning to accept and cope with companion loss and the grief that comes from it, and, after a period of mourning, be willing to embark upon a new journey in developing new relationships with new, entirely different individuals.
It is absurd to me, as an observer of human behaviour, that someone would choose to spend thousands of dollars in a futile and shallow effort to regain something lost, that will NEVER achieve its desired goal, rather than choosing to adopt an abandoned/discarded pet from the SPCA (or similar organisation)-to save it from the ultimate abandoned “humane” fate. Thousands of “pets” are destroyed each year because many so-called _‘pet lovers’_ would rather waste their energies creating a living memorial fantasy, rather than rescuing the already living.
Get over yourself… If you have nothing better to spend money on, donate those thousands you'd otherwise throw away on an illusion, to your local SPCA-or save your money and adopt a discarded pet and give it the love and attention it deserves.
It's about genetics. Imagine you lose your child and u have the chance to bring him back wouldn't you take the chance?
Yesterday my pet died. My family always was ... not perfect and messy. So my pet suffered under these conditions and I could barely help him. I feel so guilty that I could not give him the life he deserved. If I could get a second chance, I would take it
Absolutely agree with you 1000%. I am going to clone my doggy daughter in a few years. I've already saved her DNA at a gene bank. Don't let nay-sayers depress you. They don't know much.
It's not a second chance for your pet, its a second chance for you..
Also you do realize there are uncounted numbers of embryos that die before a successful one is implanted right? Also the surrogates are caged basically tortured 24/7, so if that's what it takes to get my kid back I would say not, that's not natural, the way its supposed to be..
You're not getting your dog back by cloning it. You basically have an identical copy of your dog but without its soul.
What's most sad about all this is that all this money spent on cloning could bring joy to so many rescues & strays in shelters, and help them find forever homes.
The Great Dulge... inundate with a great quantity
Weird.
Is life by fate? Is life by chance?
Yea there not cloning people here in New York State but for some reason we got people running round looking like identical people with different no relation to them what so ever and parents that are not even close to the same these people look identical in height , facial features , hair etc with no work done to them what so ever . Its not cloning but they look so identical there like twins from the same parents but there not with no relation what so ever . Anybody what the hell is going on with that cause there all over New York State right now ?
@Angela Thanks for your public comment Angela you have a wonderful day sunshine!
They're lizardmen. Or pod people. I can never keep those straight.
Cloning just feels wrong to me. I don't think I'll ever feel right about it.
They should be able to cure cancer before cloning some pets Just because some people cant Deal with grief. It Hurts. Its normal. Its still Not your pet you used to have. Not Everything is based on science alone
U forgot that youtubers also are clonning their freinds bf and cruhs💀
Wasn't this the start to a swartzeneger movie?
Epigentics can change dna by how the animal is treated as a baby that why there difrent
Yuck...just yuck. We all know where this will eventually lead us....no where good.
This is wrong on many levels, at least for now.
Millions of animals at shelters that need a good home. It's the best deal you'll ever make in your life. Adopt!
We do clone people for sure, science loved to do this, there personally is different though do they have real souls
So clones are twins and what. ..they are different...learn bio101 people..
Same dog, different consciousness /soul …hence different personality etc
Human. Cloning is legal in the USA
DO NOT CLONE...
Get a rescue. Or better yet, save an animal from an Asian meat market.
U wanna work for this company
Stupid waste of money!! 35k to clone a cat?! That money could be put to far greater use in helping animal shelters, spay/neuter/vaccination clinics, rescues and sanctuaries, prosthetics, etc! That would be a far greater, more loving legacy than leaving one more pet in a shelter or even be euthanized instead of being adopted just because some twit who apparently has too much disposable income can't face the reality of death. It sucks when a pet dies, but that's how life works
Don't assume that the folks who do this are outrageously wealthy, grief cane be a powerful thing and it would not surprise me that folks could spend their savings to bring back a cherished pet.
I work at a vet office and we work so close to an animal Adoption center... but I would still consider cloning my Chloé. I know it wouldn't be her but a part of her. She's still a young dog and have at least another decade with me. So I hope this process gets better and safer.
Before people say "adopt, adopt adopt!" I have. All my babies are adopted/rescues/surrendered to me and have been neutered/spayed.
So you had 50k laying around for this?
I think that cloning STOPS the natural/healthy grieving process which has larger implications down the road mentally/emotionally etc. I feel like people who clone their pets are just setting themselves up to have to go through all the pain again, if not more extreme because you still have the original pain from the original pain because you never really let the original pet go like nature intended as the very fact that you're replacing them with themselves i guess is a way of putting it that hopefully makes sense. cloning is just an attempt to avoid the reality of death i think on a subconscious level that many who do the cloning process aren't aware of and like much of the time when you mess with mother nature, there's a even worse consequence then we ever imagined at the time one way or another. Death is unavoidable and makes life mean more to me personally because you only get one instead of an unlimited number so you cherish it more etc. we've always wanted to cheat death but we're never gonna succeed, nor should we in my opinion. just my thoughts.
Just adopt i say no to cloned pets it is selfish and cruel to animals my cat passed away but i would not bring her back because she was sick rest in peace my beautiful girl xo
*I think what most scientists don't realize is not everything about humans is earthly. You can't clone a soul. Furthermore, truth doesn't evolve. If we learn more about something that undeniably (Although undeniability is in almost every case not achievable) refutes the previous notion, then the previous notion was never truth. Truth is absolute.*
You can have absolute truth and new discoveries ( about evolution for example) can also further support truth ( aka facts). They’re not mutually exclusive.
@@MA-zg2pz you misunderstood. Say you believe your whole life that the earth is flat. To you it is truth, but one day you learn that the earth is spherical. The earth being flat was never truth.
@@MA-zg2pz also, pretty much nothing about evolution is absolute truth.

No bias or agenda here. Nope. None at all.
Just like humans, animals also have souls.
The soul is the key to personality and behaviour.
But one can't clone a soul.
Every soul is unique.
