2981．Paying ﹩25，000 to get your pet cloned might sound attractive，if you have the money and can't imagine life without your pet.
   There are two companies now that can clone your pet：ViaGen and Sooam Biotech.Lab techs there will clone your pet using a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer （體細胞核移植），the same method used to clone Dolly the sheep in 1996.This involves removing the nucleus from a female's developing egg cell and replacing it with the nucleus from a cell from the animal you want to clone.The new cell is then stimulated （刺激） with an electric shock to make it divide and then implanted into a host organism （有機體）.
   The decision to clone your pet has to take place while they're still alive.You need to sign up with the company and take your pet to the vet so they can harvest some cells.Then，for between ﹩1-2000，the company will store the cells.Even if you decide to stop，there's no refund for the storage.If you decide to have your pet cloned，you'll pay a much larger deposit to perform the cell transfer and implant the cells into a host animal.
   What's most important to consumers is the product.Your clone is a twin of your former pet，but it won't necessarily look or act like the original.They may have different colors and you don't get your money back.Even the companies admitted in New York Times "You can clone the look of a dog，but you can't clone the soul."
