Last year, a popular Korean YouTuber, known for sharing videos featuring her pet, made a comeback with a video after a year-long break. However, the anticipated update took an unexpected turn: In her latest video("우리 강아지가 돌아왔어요"), she was cuddling with a dog that HAD PASSED AWAY a year ago. It turned out that she had cloned her deceased pet, sparking criticism on the Internet.

The practice of cloning pets has been gaining popularity over the years, but ethical concerns still remain regarding its impact on human and animal dignity. Despite the widespread disapproval, there are also some comments that show understanding of the desperation someone might feel after losing a beloved family member.

The incident raises reflective questions: If you lost your pet, would you consider cloning them? Is it merely an attempt to avoid facing reality, or a sincere effort by an individual coping with the profound pain of losing a beloved one?
