as the science (and fiction) world became at
that breakthrough, it all simmered down
after the world collectively realised that the
resulting babies were just that – normal,

outright reject, the practise of pet cloning as
it exists in the world today – but the concept
of scientific hubris, or hysteria around
deformities and the pollution of sacred
genetic lines, are not examples of them. Grey
Muzzle paints a much more optimistic view of
what pet cloning could become, should
technology and culture move in the direction
it describes – but the moral question
remains, whether the creation of a new
beloved Ollie is what’s best for his family, and
his memory.
