Proponents of the measure argued for the pet-clone ban
because the technology was unregulated and animal shelters were
already filled to capacity with potential pets.
The proposed ban came after the first sale of a cloned pet
last year by Sausalito, California-based Genetic Savings &
Clone Inc.
The company revealed in December it had cloned a cat --
named Little Nicky after its progenitor, Nicky -- for a client
in Texas for $50,000.
