Clones are biological copies of an existing animal. Full Flush, a champion
bull, was cloned in 2001. His five clones were the result of biological cloning of cow’s eggs so they were biologically identical to Full Flush. The modified eggs
were implanted and the calves were born normally.
Cloning technology has developed considerably from the mid-1990s. The most
common technique uses somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). To date, cloning has
been reserved for breeding purposes, rather than for food. Since it costs
approximately $20,000 to clone an animal, you can understand that is a restriction to
the usage of the technique. See the following site for more information:
