About this listen

 This episode explores the three major applications of animal cloning in today's world. We dive into the emotional and commercial pet cloning industry, where grieving owners spend tens of thousands to recreate beloved companions, often discovering their genetic copies behave quite differently. In agriculture, we examine how farmers clone elite livestock to preserve valuable genetics worth millions in breeding revenue, while biomedical researchers create genetically identical animals for more precise drug testing and disease research. The episode reveals the complex economics, international dynamics, and technological advances driving this industry, from AI-optimized cloning processes to future applications in space exploration.
