I\u2019m trying to remember the first time I ever heard about clones. It had to be as a kid. Maybe in a monster movie or TV show? Possibly a clone was referred to by the more general term \u201cdouble\u201d, which is not necessarily a clone. Whatever it was, I\u2019m sure as a kid that I knew it wasn\u2019t real.<\/p>\n

These days human cloning<\/strong><\/a> is a more frequent parts of television and movies. For instance, Orphan Black is a long-running TV show with clones as main characters.<\/p>\n

Animal clones<\/h2>\n

These days, animal clones are beyond TV and movies. They are quite real and becoming more common. People can clone their pets including dogs. Researchers can clone livestock. I hadn\u2019t realized though that horses could be routinely cloned until I saw this new article: Game of clones: Science is immortalizing Argentina\u2019s top polo horses<\/a>, WaPo. <\/em><\/strong>I do recall someone mentioning to me that if someone could clone prize-winning racehorses that there would be big money there.<\/p>\n

Apparently in some areas of polo, cloned horses are very common. Could this happen with horse racing too? At the moment it appears that thoroughbred racing bans cloned horses.<\/p>\n
