If science could make a pet made of just a head without a body, how much would you pay to have one? Would it be ethical?

I wouldn't want a pet made by science, I would want a pet that was born naturally.

What if it were bred that way? For example, an animal was born without a body, and somehow it were able to reproduce without scientific intervention?

Okay, I have to ask. Just how would a "head" reproduce? ;) As for wanting a pet that's just a head, well, no. I have enough stuff to clutter my house, four legs is kind of a necessity for my pet's survival!

No, definitely not. I hope science won't progress to the point of creating freaks of nature.

I wouldn't want one, it doesn't seem right. If we start having pets without bodies, people will wants babies without bodies some day to... perhaps in the far future we'll become brains with eyes on sticks !! AHHHH! Sorry... taking this to far, LOL!

? I'm sorry, that's just weird. lol, I'm not really sure how to answer this one! What would be the benefit of having a pet with just a head? What's wrong with the entire body being attached, and if it were just a head what would be fun about that?

This sounds like the kind of pet the Addams family would have. Too freaky for me.

That is strange. No, I wouldn't pay for it, I would hope that science would never go that far, it's sickening. It is completly unethical. What would be the point of a pet with no body? I don't see much fun in cuddling with a head.
