Cloning well im not a genetic engineer or molecular biologist I know it degrades the telemores( telemore decay believed now to be the root cause of aging) a small part of the chromosone also part of the genome may be damaged when the cloned nucleus is implanted in an embryo still these problems can all be solved in time I wish I could be more specific.

OK, we'll skip specifics and go to end results, they suck. Who are we to callously experiment/play with life to determine better results?

Telomers dropp off with cell division, until they run out and the cell loses the ability to divide. We have a special name for cells that can divide limitlessly. We call it cancer...
