Carp (1963)- An embryologist Tong Dizhou cloned a fish in China.
Mice (1983)- First successefully cloned mammel.
Sheep (1996)
Rhesus Moneky (January 2000)
Cattle (2005) in Brazil
Cat- Little Nicky was the first pet cat cloned in 2004
Mule (May 4 2003)- first horse family clone

Cloning expenses

Think about the cost before deciding weither or not you want to clone a mammal!


The cost usually depends on how many clones you want and veterinary expenses. An average cost is around $11,000-20,000 per clone. Veterinary expenses can vary greatly because most clones have all been delivered by caesarian. Treatments can require thousands of dollars. Hopefully, in the future, the cloning process will become more economically and less expensive.

Can cloning stop extinction?

Malaysia is trying to think of ways to prevent the leatherback turtles from going extinct. Because of pollution, eggs are no longer fertile and turtles cannot produce offspring. Scientists have come up with a solution to save these animals by cloning them. However, turtles are reptiles and scientists never cloned reptiles before, only mammels. The project will cost about $9 million and there is a chance that it will fail. Should it be done?

Is it safe to eat food from cloned animals?

On January 15, 2008 the FDA approved food from some cloned animals. The U.S Food and Drug Administration concluded that meat and milk from cloned cattle are safe to eat. However, there is not enough information to confirm the safety of eating sheep meat.

After further inspection food from cloned animals will be introduced to the public.

Ethics on Cloning Farm Animals

Cloning farm animals is catagorized under cruelty and abuse. The efficiency of animal cloning is extremely low. Most of the time there are stillbirths, aborted fetuses, and abnormal offsprings afflicted with lots of diseases and disabilities. Cloned animals struggle and are diagnosed with arthiritis or lung disease at an early age. They have a weak immune system and constantly suffer. After the cloning technology improves and the cloning efficiency increases, there will no longer be an ethical dilemma concerning cloned farm animals.
