Advantages
- Elite, high-value animals can be cloned in large numbers
- Endangered animals can be cloned to preserve the species
- You can produce spare stem cells
- Pets can be cloned
- GM animals can be quickly reproduced
- Animals can be cloned for xenotransplantation
|
Disadvantages
- Animal welfare may be compromised - cloned animals may suffer from bad health
- There is no genetic variation
- All the clones will be susceptible to the same diseases/environmental factors, and the species will be unable to adapt to changing environments and evolve
- Cloning success rate is very poor
- Cloning is expensive and labour intensive
