the big effect (Score 2)

what is interesting about this to me is that when these scientists talk, its clear that there are differences between cloning and natural conception. This is because the DNA is modified in adults and certain genes are turned on which affect the growth of the animals. The cloned animals are bigger at birth and I think eventually they may get bigger than the original too. This is an unknown dimension of cloning - the experience of the clone will be different because there are genetic differences between the donor and the clone. If this happens I guess we'll hear about how this effects life. sheep monkeys and cows can't talk about that stuff.
