California, and life in general, just gets weirder. I almost choked on a scone this morning when I read this article about a woman paying $50k to have her dead cat brought back to life through the modern-day black magic of cloning. The woman, who hails from Texas (and must not have a lot going on in her life), insists that she can see no difference between Nicky and Little Nicky:
The premise itself is startling. It would seem that, despite the fervent moral objection of some, our culture is rapidly embracing the technology of cloning. The wackiness is compounded, though, by the name of the company who managed to reincarnate Nicky – Genetic Savings & Clone. What should be a tongue-in-cheek name instead conjurs up some scary images for me. Maybe I shouldn’t be so shocked – we already have sperm banks, after all. High-interest DNA accounts must be right around the corner. I just hope they come with free checking. Once cloning is in full effect, I’ll be making quite a few transactions…(insert laugh of evil here)…MOOOO-HAA-HAA-HAAA!!!
