Lift the plate and you'll find a portal to the spooniervers!

This reminds me of the old days when application would do this on the regular. Also draging windows arround would occasionally just leave copies of their borders an window decorations every where.

TL;DR: I think cloning will never be a really viable technology for industrial use. At least not on its own. Not because it's hard problem to solve, but it doesn't scale well. That's why there is little investment and slow development.

Let's assume you cloned a sheep. Congratulations, you now get to care for a baby sheep. You need sheep milk to feed it, you need to provide it with shelter, warmth etc.

That's cool if you cloned one sheep for the lulz. But we want to make some money here. So we clone 1000 sheep. Now where do you get the milk from? From a 1000 other mother sheep who also had at least 1000 baby sheep. You also need a massive lab AND a massive pen to keep your sheep. Workers to do the cloning AND workers to take care of the baby sheep.

If you just want to double your sheep output, it's much easier to just have double the amount of sheep and have them reproduce naturally. No lab required, the herd mostly takes care of their needs.

You've also sloved none of the other problems big scale animal farms come with: methan emissions, land and water usage, animal cruelty etc. You also opend the pandoras box of ethical questions around cloning.

Next question is, will you be able to sell you produce at a competive price ahd enough customers?

Assuming you somehow manage to make it profitable, all of this only works until someone really figures out how to grow meat in a lab at a large scale.

There's no really goo business case for it, so there's no one who's really keen on spending millions to perfect the technology, industrialise it and then build a business on it.

If the dog would be standing in the Red River, it would be a Labrador Red River ... if you catch my drift. 😆
