(READING) Life after Death?

Kittens Tabouli and Baba Ganoush look alike, but they aren't twins. They're clones.
Feline clones are exact genetic copies of another cat. They were created in a
laboratory by a company called Genetic Savings and Clone. The company expects
to make a lot of money cloning pets after they die. Lou Hawthorne, the president of
the company, says, "It's a multibillion-dollar business waiting to happen."
Hawthorne's company already has a list of people who want cloned cats. They will
each pay $50,000. Dogs will cost more. "vVe guarantee that the clone will be
healthy and that it will look very much like the original animal," Hawthorne says.
One woman has ordered a clone of her late cat. "1 made the decision to clone him
before he died. Then 1 had hope that I might share a part of him again," Marsha
Brooks says. For many people, losing a beloved pet is very upsetting. It can be like
losing a member of the family. But even some pet lovers say that cloning seems
absurd. However, this cat owner doesn't agree. She wants her cat back. "He was
more intelligent than most of the people 1 know," she said. "And 1 can't wait to
meet the clone!"
But while one woman waits for a clone, others are looking for new pets. Karen and
Michael Lawrence decided to spend $50 instead of $50,000. When their cat,
Marshall, died, they went to the animal shelter. "You know, there are a lot of great
cats and dogs who don't have homes." said Karen.
