Slightly out in your “remember a long time ago” - Dolly was born in 1996! Pet cloning apparently started in 2004! So it’s been around long enough to somewhat mature.
- akiselev 6y agoI don't know what's more horrifying - how old that made me feel or that pet cloning is a thing. Marketwatch says it costs something like $50,000. Of course there's been discussions on HN about it!

- microcolonel 6y agoThat's cool, I had no idea it'd gotten that inexpensive, I wonder how much cheaper it can get.
- makx 6y agoThanks for sharing those links! This is so f*ed up that that's an industry. If all that money would have gone to preserving the wildlife we do still have left (but are losing rapidly)...
- kace91 6y agoI got confused reading your comment because I didn't expect you to refer to dolly as recent, it's from before I was able to read (and I'm about to enter my thirties). It's funny how time is perceived differently by different people!
