Subject: RE: BS: Cloning pets
Oh, I imagine the cloning story is true, but I wonder if this company has really solved any of the problems with cloned mammals, which so far have been prone to dying very young and having serious health issues. The technology is still imperfect.

Natural clones (twins, etc.) don't have those problems, likely because no one has sucked all the goodies out of the mother egg, and both sperm and egg are meant to produce a new critter/human, not forced as in current cloning tech, from a skin or other body cell.
