I am hearing a lot of references to 'The Dog From Sixth Day' might I point out that while you could clone a dead animal it will behave and act and have a completley different personality because things will happen differently in its life.

This leads me neatly on to the matter of cloning Xantar his clone will have a different personality too (and besides what do we want another person obsessed with porn RPG's for lol).

Ok I admit, sadly at the end of the day everything in this world boils down to money and funding. So perhaps blood samples (and embryos although I dont condone it) could be taken and set in deep freeze (Like Walt Disney) for use in the future when science has advanced or something. I agree with Xantar more should be done on the preservation of animals such as pandas (and no a panda with six arms doesnt sound too good) also another point to add, he mentioned other animils having longer or more complex dna, well blood samples have been taken from a dead and washed up Blue Whale and they discovered that its dna is far more complex than a humans almost beyond belief. Only common sence really when you consider the fact that it is the largest known creature on our planet. I say known because who knows whats down there in the ocean deeps beneath the photic zone.
