TEXAS: In the heart of Texas, where loyalty runs deep, pet owners are increasingly turning to science to extend the lives of their furry companions. Pet cloning, once a futuristic fantasy, is becoming a reality for some Texans, thanks to companies like ViaGen Pets.
The process involves extracting genetic material from a beloved dog or cat after their passing, creating a genetic twin through complex procedures, and implanting the embryo in a surrogate mother.
While the emotional appeal of bringing back a cherished pet is undeniable, ethical concerns and a hefty price tag leave the practice shrouded in controversy.
