Precisely; it's not for us to say what someone wants to spend their 
money on (is it any worse to spend $50,000 on a cloned pet than a 
Lexus?).  Plus, let us remember that this can only be a Good Thing for 
those of us who think that reproductive cloning is itself a Good Thing. 
Dolly was the prototype that only ran on the test-track and the wind 
tunnel. Little Nicky is the first production model; the production line 
is still ramping up. I await the day we can visit a showroom.
