I know I’ve posted about similar things to this before, but this is just weird.

In a move possibly more fitting to a plot in Stephen King’s "Pet Sematary," a Korean company plans to offer animal lovers the chance to "bring back" their dead companions through cloning, the Guardian reported.
RNL Bio on Friday announced it would work with Seoul National University scientists, who created the first cloned canine, "Snuppy," to offer customers a re-creation of their deceased pet for $150,000.
The company received its first order from a California woman seeking to clone a dead pit bull that saved her life from an attack by another dog, the Guardian reported.
In working on Bernann McKunney’s request, scientists were to use preserved ear tissue from the dog and said the chance of success is around 25 percent.

I’m sorry, but that’s just weird. I know that our technology is way more advanced than we already think it is, but can’t these people find something better for it? We don’t have a cure for cancer but they’re spending $150,000 on cloning a dog. God didn’t create it, so why do these people think that it’s their job? Bad things could definitely come out of this. What if the dog can carry deadly diseases or something? I’m not saying stem cell research and all that is wrong, because we should definitely explore these things. But come on, how many lives is preserving ear tissue gonna save?
Opinions please?
Any other information on this research is very welcome.
