Question: Can cloning affect people's lives?

Sophie Holles answered on 14 Mar 2013:

Yes, we use cloning in research to find ways to stop diseases and to produce food more efficiently. We normally just clone bacteria and viruses, but I have heard of some people cloning horses to try and make sure they have a winner to replace a really good horse that has got too old to win any more! They’ve allowed cloned horses to compete in the olympics! But they’re not allowed to race, only do dressage and other events.
