"No. I think a pet is special, and when they're gone, that memory needs to live on as it was."

"I'd have to say 'yes' because I'm very close to her."

"No. I think it's wrong to play God. Really, if you're willing to clone your dog, you're willing to clone your kid. We're willing to change our lives for our own selfish needs."

"No, I wouldn't. If God wanted it to be that way, it would be that way. All that playing God stuff isn't gonna play well with a lot of people."
Jamie O'Mahony
Lodi Engineer
"No, because he's a troublemaker. The world doesn't need another one of him."

" Bob! Bob! Bob! Enough with the mean spirited treatment of MARZO. Are you tyring to strip him of his shelf-esteem! He may spend the rest of his life suffering from shelf-loathing, wallowing in his own shelf-pity. Don't you feel just a little ashamed of your shelf? "

" You are so wrong Marzo. Our shelves can do their own thinking. They don't need us and we have no right to think for them. My shelves are very intelligent and know what's what. One of my shelves what valedictorian of her class, so leave the shelves alone you shelf-hater! Idiot. "

" People play God every day with executions, abortions, even getting your pets spayed and neutered, so we might as well clone too and avoid the hypocrisy.

BTW, I never "play" God. I take it very seriously when I use my god-like superpowers. "
