    Once again, people believe that genes are the animal. Twin studies have consistently shown that despite substantial similarities, nature favors difference between clones. If they expect the animals to be identical and never pay attention to the differences, then they will continue to ignore that the code is designed to be flexible.

    27 years of cloning. There has to be adult human clones out there, or damn near close. There’s no way no one hasn’t done it.

    Cloning plants is an essential part of the flower industry, so I’m not surprised. You get one “perfect” specimen, and you can make money off of it forever. And many people would rather have that than the surprise of a natural organism that may not be as “perfect”.
