You might remember the buzz over cloning when Dolly the Sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, was born in 1996.
Fast forward two decades and cloning technology has moved on so much that you can now clone your pets.
But, animal cloning is still controversial and critics have raised ethical concerns about the wellbeing of donors and surrogates.
The success rate of a cloned embryo is relatively low and complications during the cloning process can cause pain and suffering to the animals involved.
This video is from BBC Click, the BBC’s flagship technology programme and was made in collaboration with BBC Reel.

Yes (made clear at 1:15). I think this technology is meant for animal breeders (race horses, valuable dogs and cats, cows with a high amount of milk etc.) and of course for animals on the brink of extinction (as explained at 4:22).

I mean Twins have rights. So why won't clones. But obviously it's more about why the person was cloned.

If you cloned people with that cloned people with that condition, you could steer mans evolution in a specific way.
