My big concern is the cost in terms of life. Dolly wasn't the first attempt. It took many miscarriages, and abortions due to deformities to produce Dolly. I would want to know where these people did their work, and how many implantations it took to produce this child.
Why?
If this story is true, I worry about the future health of the little girl. According to the articles I've read, the cloning process doesn't fully restore the potency of the genes, leaving the clone with "old genes". We have all the genes we had starting with conception but they aren't all turned on anymore (eg. those that control development of our heart, arms, legs, etc.). The cloning process has to reset the clocks on all these genes. If a clone has been successfully delivered it means that the vast majority of the genes were reset.
Now the worry is that little sections of the baby's genes may have problems. Lot's of serious diseases are the result of microdeletions in the genetic code. Most of these cause problems in the most complex part of our bodies, our brains, resulting in mental retardation.
I really fear for this little girl's future. She isn't a lab animal that can be euthanized if problems arise. We are obliged to care for her just like any other person.
Good point .. there were a lot of problems before Dolly was born and all of a sudden they have the first clone baby?
Something in this story IMO is missing
