When we hear of cloning successes, we learn about only the few attempts that worked. What we do not see are the many, many cloning attempts that fail! And even in the successful clones, problems tend to arise later, during the organisms development to adulthood. An excerpt from the Genetic Science Learning Center states, (2008) “cloning animals is simply inefficient. The success rate ranges from 0.1 percent to 3 percent, which mean that for every 1000 tries, only one to 30 clones are made. Or you can look at it as 970 to 999 failures in 1000 tries” (¶, ...
