The Northern California cloning firm BioArts International is holding a news conference today to announce that it has cloned a dog that helped searched for victims in the rubble of New York's World Trade Center after 9/11. A retired Canadian police officer, who now lives in Los Angeles, won a contest sponsored by BioArts explaining why his rescue dog, Trakr, should be cloned. He was presented with the five cloned puppies a few days ago.I can see the meeting.
Guy: Hey, let's clone dogs.And no, still creepy.
Guy: People are going to think it's weird and a bit creepy.
Guy: Let's clone a hero dog!
Guy: I didn't know there were hero dogs AND I love it!
I'm sorry that wasn't funny. I'm tired.

There was actually a contest to pick which dog should be cloned, with 10 finalists. My boyfriend was one of the judges, and Trackr wasn't the dog he picked. He was a trained dog taught to be a service animal, and it wasn't something hard wired into his personality.
We live with a cloned cat that BioArts (formally Genetics Savings & Clone) um... made ... from a cat that was a part of our family. I totally support animal cloning, and it's sort of neat having a little science project walking around the house.
oops - rereading I saw that you did mention the contest.
Not enough coffee. Carry on.
Still, I think it's weird.
