MercuryNews.com | 08/26/2005 | Working to prevent folly of pet cloning makes good sense:
The issue of pet cloning has been a topic of discussion on these pages recently in the aftermath of the birth of Snuppy, the world's first cloned dog. And while the temptation is great to regress to second-grade antics such as Henry I. Miller's recent pulling of my pigtails (Op-Ed, ``Overreacting to the news of a cloned Afghan hound,'' Aug. 23), I'll refrain from joining him in the playground sandbox, and instead focus on why pet cloning is an important public-policy and moral debate and not just unrestrained scientific curiosity.
