In my opinion‚ the money that would go into this bill is a waist. The worst part about cloning animals and humans is it results in failure most of the time. In the article “Arguments for and Against Creating Human Clones”‚ it states “95-98% of mammalian cloning experiments have resulted in failures in the form of miscarriages‚ stillbirths
