CLONING Horses

[txminipinto]

Not to hijack the thread....

About 3 years ago we had about 6 surrogant mares on foal watch carrying clones in ICU. I didn't work for that service but I was interested in the clones. Each foal was either born with joint issues, immune system issues, or failure to thrive. Granted it was just 6 foals and in research, that's nothing. But when each foal costs hundreds of thousands just to get on the ground, I want better results! The ICU techs quickly lost their excitement over the project because they were so much work to keep alive on top of the other patients in ICU. Sick foals are frustrating. Sick, expensive foals is even worse! They all looked different too. So just because you clone your horse doesn't mean the clone will look anything like your horse!

This is a great thread!

I always assumed that a clone would be an exact replica. I guess my lack of knowledge is really showing, but wouldn't a clone look just the same as the one that was cloned from?????? Same color and all??

Very interesting. I also did not know there were so many animals cloned out there.

I would have my Poko cloned in a heartbeat.

Thanks Robin for a neat thread!

Oh, I would choose my own Esprit right off the bat. Then I would have the most dynamite driving pair! Oh, I love my Esprit so.
