He literally succeeded in performing a literal cloning of a complex mammalian subject? How rich is this guy, how well-staffed his lab, how is he achieving things that state-level labs struggle to do?<p>I am unsure whether I believe that this was an actual cloning, and not just some sort of old-fashioned hybridization or something. Because this guy should be awarded a science medal instead. What really is the legal issue with creating your own mammals just to be held captive and hunted for food?<p>It seems weird, but unsurprising, they'd throw the book at him, and make an example of him, lest someone else strike out on their own with such a complex biomedical challenge!
