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.

Actually surprised that Elon Musk didn’t just cut out the concubines and just go straight to cloning.

He’s not going to announce that he had backup organs made for himself.
1 yearWhy not just put all the money into making labgrown meat that can be engineered to be that perfect?

This isnt like the clone is grown in a vat, their DNA is used in embryos and implanted into a mare. This is not cost effective for meat production.
Lab grown meat is a thing nowadays but is still relatively small scale compared to farming. It claims to be more environmental friendly but I personally doubt that.
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”.

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.
