However, there are arguments against pet cloning. Though the cloned pets copy the dead pet's appearance, they have different personalities.39.Some pet lovers like Huang think a clone is a good replacement （替代品）for their dead pets. But others worry that having the same appearance but a different personality will lead to more pain in the long run. Knowing this, the company says it hopes to use AI and other technologies to move memories to cloned pets in the future.
Moreover, scientists think cloned pets aren't as healthy as naturally born pets. 40.
Some animal lovers think cloning pets is unacceptable because a large number of stray animals（流浪动物）still need homes. They say there is no need to clone.
