I’m sorry but, was the whole successfully cloning animals thing just a fever dream? Is there a reason we can’t be doing that for something like this? (Disclaimer: am stupid, pls ELI5)

I, too, would like to know if we shared the same fever dream.

If I remember right, cloning is banned in most places. Or at least there was talk about banning cloning in the EU in the early 10’s.

Cloning is not a magical tool with scifi vats etc it’s taking dna and placing it in an embryo and puting it back in an animal womb, here breeding would be more on point. But I too am stupid, this is my take on it from what I know.
