Fuck off, rabbits can't have a life expectancy of 10 years. A paltry ten years. I won't let it be true. That would make gizmo a grandfather to my twentysomething.

If it weren't for the whole mind/body issue I would consider cloning. I wish I were delusional enough to believe that a cloned pet is more than genetically similar, unfortunately I feel like a monster for even contemplating this.
