My real question is why wouldn’t you clone a winning racehorse. I mean that’s got huge potential

I’d clone my dog.

I raised her, I see no reason why cloned dog wouldn’t be similar or at least close enough.

There's a good Black Mirror episode about this. Anyone hoping for a completely cloned loved one is destined to be sorely disappointed with the results.

This is a stupid thought. It would only "look" like your old dog.
It wouldnt be the same dog with its personality, habits, temperament, etc.
Look buddy, I don't come over to your house and slap the dick out of your mouth and tell you how to do your job.

In a normal state of mind no. But grief + opportunity . . . who knows.

A dog, maybe. But there would be no point in cloning myself or a loved one. It would only be the same body. Not the same spirit or soul. Which, imo, would be pointless.

would my soul be in there?


there's no such thing, so no.

Soul is a fake idea to make you feel invested in the future.
You wouldn't freak about getting into heaven if you knew that soul-idea is fiction.

they should clone hot Asian women so that we have more hot Asian women running around but no one would notice they’re clones.
