Yeah. In fact, until Dolly, many scientists believe mammals just couldn't be cloned. But they can. In fact, right now, there are companies that can clone a pet for you. So if your favorite kitty dies, you can literally get them back. And once again, a panoply of ethical questions have arisen.

In truth, the bigger question is, should humans be cloned? And the answer is, yes. We think primates have already been cloned, and researchers in South Korea and Michigan have cloned a human embryo, but that was only for research purposes. Countries are passing laws about human cloning. Like all things DNA, is mired in ethical questions.

Yeah, look, we'll get to China in a minute because they are players here. But each of these developments raises a new set of ethical questions. Genealogical databases, that's where tons of private health information is stored. They could be hacked by bad actors. And I don't mean like Nick Cage.

Yeah. You know, if he's working that hard, maybe he could use a clone of himself. But look back to the ethical questions like the genetic counseling, which could arise as we enter this brave new world, that could turn easily into eugenics. And eugenics, in case anyone doesn't know, is an attempt to create a superior gene pool.
