I'd rather clone my bank account.
Let's clone all the cute girls!
With big brains !
Paul Gloor
And big boobs!
David López And tight butts!

But wouldn't producing multiple clones of the same animal that participate in sport make it more interesting? In Polo, having the players ride the "same" horse would mean that each players' talent means more to the game. Say that a favorite looses to a rival, the favorite could always say that his/her rival had the better horse and that helped them in their victory. But if all the players are riding the same "stud" via cloning, then that argument of the "better" horse is nullified since each player has to play to their strengths and outsmart their opponents. I believe that would make Polo, and other sports, more interesting by displaying an almost "level" playing field and by showcasing the human mind and intellect over the course of the game or match. It sounds to make for better TV.
And as a disclaimer, I have no clue how Polo is played or ever seen a match before.
As the video explained, the animals are only the same at birth and diverge from then on. Even development in the womb can make differences in how animals develop. I'm sure that polo ponies require extensive training and no two ponies would get the exact same training.
That is a phenomenal idea! That way we know for sure which player is the best, it's like putting a control into the experiment. Dude you are really onto something!

Greetings from Argentina, guys!
I don't know about you, but I would probably choose a unicorn or Pegasus over a cloned horse. Just sayin'.
Someday we will be able to genetically engineer those Pegasuses and Unicorns for you.
Splice in some genes, change some(by that I mean a whole lot) of regulation in development and viola!
They would never be able to actually fly just based on simple physics(unless you significantly cut down on the weight and added huge muscles to flap those wings) but they wold look cool.
Jack we are still way too far from flying horses
davright
Yeah, unfortunately.
Jack you mean vuala, not viola lol :D i thought you were talking about string instruments for a second :P
davright
Ill skip the flying horses phase thanks... if you think pigeons and seagulls are problematic.... wait till you have to clean a horse patty off your car !!
cant w8 till the first cloned human
It'll be like identical twins.
I'm sitting next to my clone right now. It was a wonderful accident. XD
Imagine if they ever cloned a few Albert Einsteins, Tesla, Edison, and so on. where the wold would be.
rfrancoi
Did you even watch the video?clones doesnt mean an exact copy of the person in the present moment. Cloning is a genetic thing so a clone of Einstein would not automatically be a scientist.
rfrancoi Tesla > Einstein + Edison
Either way if that ever happened they would probably wind up as some sick scientist army controlled by the military, making weapons.
Don't let Marco find you = win
The familiar pungent smell of a dad joke.
That match took place few blocks from my house, i feel special now :o!
Blaba ba cool vid guys, love this channel;) before 100 views.
congratulation sir :)
I know it's been asked before, but I can't seem to remember when, so sorry for being repetitive. Where do Trace and Anthony get all their random T-shirts?
IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!!
If you can clone animals to eat like cows and pigs and chickens then...will there be a point to being vegetarian?
but if all of them have the same clone, it will depend more of the rider ability than the horse
A rider's ability is not that important. The rider with the least mistakes wins
Polo is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Players score by driving a small white plastic or wooden ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled mallet. The traditional sport of polo is played at speed on a large grass field up to 300 yards long by 160 yards wide, and each polo team consists of four riders and their mounts. Field polo is played with a solid plastic ball, which has replaced the wooden ball in much of the sport. In arena polo, only three players are required per team and the game usually involves more maneuvering and shorter plays at lower speeds due to space limitations of the arena. Arena polo is played with a small air-filled ball, similar to a small soccer ball. The modern game lasts roughly two hours and is divided into periods called chukkers (occasionally rendered as "chukkas" due to an improper interpretation of the word's phonetics as heard from a speaker using Received Pronunciation). Polo is played professionally in 16 countries. It was formerly, but is not currently, an Olympic sport.
The more you know!
....This sounds like it helps people with only first world problems.
Because Argentina is totally a first world country...
BFKAnthony817 define "first world country"
Its a saying not a country.
Guilty Spark __ Definitions
The term "First World" refers to so called developed, capitalist, industrial countries, roughly, a bloc of countries aligned with the United States after World War II, with more or less common political and economic interests: North America, Western Europe, Japan and Australia.
www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/first_world.htm
"Second World" refers to the former communist-socialist, industrial states, (formerly the Eastern bloc, the territory and sphere of influence of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic) today: Russia, Eastern Europe (e.g., Poland) and some of the Turk States (e.g., Kazakhstan) as well as China.
www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/second_world.htm
"Third World" are all the other countries, today often used to roughly describe the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The term Third World includes as well capitalist (e.g., Venezuela) and communist (e.g., North Korea) countries, as very rich (e.g., Saudi Arabia) and very poor (e.g., Mali) countries.

I want to see Clone Olympics!
Only problem is you need to maintain the base stock or you'll end up with an army of cloned creatures that can be threatened with a single and rapidly spreading disease as it will have no obstacles to overcome from host to host, like the modern banana is today. I figure cloning should be on a limited quantity at any given time from any single gene donor, clones should probably also be neutered/spayed and not considered for breeding stock to help keep the genepool diverse over the long run.
I think I'm a clone now
There's always two of me just a-hangin' around

Cloning animals is a viable thing now?? Holy carp!! Can a private sector person commission a clone of a household pet? My awesome Princess Pretty Pants (As seen on the left, no, not her real name, just a fun nick name that riles her up!) must be cloned! Stupid state regulators forced mandatory spaying, so we couldn't have a pup of hers to carry on her awesomeness, but having a clone of her to carry it on is even better!! The world must have more Princess Pretty Pants'!! Well, at least, I must.. =)
Ok so you said clones are 98% Identical to the donor right? What if you cloned the clone? Would the 2nd generation cone be 98% of 98% identical from the original donor?
well if it is 98% simalar it goes from 100% to 98% to 96.04% to 94.08% and so on of the original
I think a race of all the same clones would be interesting.
have specialised clone races, race old legendary horses against newer prize-winning horses to see who is truly the best
I'll Have Another Again
15th comment I love watching Dnews I learn so much from you guys its so interesting
Could I say its like a nature/nurture thing? That the clone can come out the same, but it doesn't have any of its own experience or training. Like, it may have the right.. materials/ingredients (for lack of better words right now) to be strong and fast and such, but if you take the horse to do a race without it ever going through the training/process, it really might not do good, right?
Unless they have the same knowledge and memories... Weird concept.
that's not how cloning works...
lol your shirt is awesome
HOLY SHIT that shirt is awesome
I wouldn't mind. Nature has its ways. When we look at progression of times for 100 m run. The best runners from 50 years ago wouldn't even make it through qualification. So you can maybe dominate with cloned horse, but certainly not forever.
Sure nature has its way, as you say. The thing is, its really slow. Nature takes billions of years to come up with an organism through trial and error whereas I honestly believe someday we will be able to design an organism from scratch using a computer in just a couple years.
You bring up a good point with the clone being somewhat stagnant because there is no natural/artificial selection for a faster linage. I think when we have enough knowledge of molecular biology/genetics that natural selection in cases like this will be obsolete as well. Instead of just hoping for that mutation or change in regulation that will give the animal that new edge we will simply go and put it there ourselves.
I am waiting for that kind of technology. :) But then I hope it will not end up like in Gattaca or similar movies. It can also be dangerous, when everybody has same genes and viruses and bacteria can spread more quickly.
Jack
If dogs are any kind of an indication, nature doesn't have to be slow with controlled section process combined with gene sequencing at the helm.
Jack Well there is already is tech available. at singularity collage one of the students where able to make a system that allows for cheap and easy DNA creation and the designing of DNA has bean done many times before that But only really when it comes to microbes such as yeast there is a competition in the states for modified organisms sadly I cant rember it off hand but I think last years winners was a university student with custom yeast that produced specific flours of beer.

Yeah I've heard a bit about such things. I was referring to a time when it can be done with exact accuracy and on a grander scale. I still think its all super exciting though.

I want to clone Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Bill Maher.
We can still make it to Hitchen.
Just remember that nature vs. nurture thing. If these people you clone don't live similar lives to their 'original', then there's no guarantee that they'll be the inspiration you'd want them to be.
Very true, but would be really amazing if they could be similar. Or younger versions with the same memories.
*More than cloning I prefer enhancing.*
I am guessing that doping got a new scale level on the #cloning department. I wonder what will become of the future of some other areas where animals are cloned? There are ethical repercussions? #science
I don't fully understand would the horse be like exactly the same with same memory and every or what???
Same DNA/genes
not a fan of cloning animals, but so far nothing really bad has happened. but just gotta wait and see. do they act just like an uncloned animal in everyway?
Polo is amazing sport anyone can learn to play it whatever ur age learn to ride then learn the rules and learn how to hit really u can do it I do it it's amazing fun I compete on a team all the time I'm only 14 the youngest competing member is 12 but we have players as young as 8 and riders even younger. Search triangle area polo.
bring it up at your next cocktail party. yep. happening.
If all the horses in the game is cloned from the same horse, then doesn't it mean its truly just the riders versus each other. Skills against skills.
booyah 13 seconds after uploading the vid
Correct me if i'm wrong, but if it's possible to clone just 1 part of an animal couldn't the beef industry (and other meat industries) just clone the part of the animal they need so its already dead and doesn't have to suffer?
If it became popular on a large scale, it would harm genetic variability, especially if clones were also being used for breeding. Of course most purebred dogs already have congenital defects due to inbreeding as it is.
Why only 98%?
I think this was a reference to mitocondrial DNA
I was wondering that too.
I think an argument could be made that breeding is a part of some sports. Another possible argument is this might halt selective breeding that we stop making progress with a breed. Yet another argument is that these sports are already elite enough and that expensive genetic engineering will only make it even more elite.
Clone Wars begins.
Maybe this is ignorant but I would think until more is known that all cloned animals ought to be neutered in case they would pass on something that could jeopardize the future of a species ...maybe first copies are truly viable but what about generations later? I just think extreme caution is called for given how many other things man has screwed up that initially was touted as harmless
let's clone human , for me if i get a chance to work in lab where i will be able to clone , i am going to clone myself and it has been my dream since my high school and im still wanting to clone human specially the beloved ones !
Omg I can clone my fave horse Rico
Isn't this, in the end, just going to lead to overall worse performing horses/things if it becomes widespread? Because even though something is the best possible right now, and highest performing horse now, and even if there is only a (random percent) 10% chance of normally born horse to perform better than its stud parents, overall wouldn't we want to still breed the horses normally? Yes it may be more inefficient, but the end result would be a better horse. Cloning doesn't allow for progress
hum..... cloning is a tricky business. I don't mine cloning, but... cloning the clone is a different matter, or breeding clones together.
actually dolly was cloned in 1997
Dolly (5 July 1996 - 14 February 2003) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.
Sorry but your facts are off. I was in 6th grade of that year when she was announced on Channel 1 at school. I would know because I lived through it and clearly remembered it was 1996 and even went so far as to look it up to prove my gut feeling.
I'd think the clone of I'll Have Another should be I'll Have Another I'll Have Another. Who doesn't love recursive horses?
So if I clone my self it wont turn out as me????????????????????
Unless you have the time to raise the clone in absolutely the same way that you were raised, and even then, there will be differences.
kk
Well if you consider NASCAR a sport, I guess it's basically the same thing.
We need to work on flash cloning... hint hint.
reminds me of the book "House of the scorpion"
So long as cloning only occurs in what are currently the 'pure breed' circles we'll be fine. Pure breeding of some animals creates animals riddled with genetic problems anyway, so I can't see that cloning will do any more harm. Provided the majority of a species continues to reproduce sexually it should remain viable and healthy.
The difficulty would only come if the general population, rather than just the smallish competitive/sporting populations, begin to be comprised of clones.
just clone the humans too...
thats going to make the game a lot more fair
I would like a clone
I want to clone my dog now
Cloning is weirdddddd
Bananas are cloned :D

It seems that the majority of you didn't pay close enough attention to this video, or any other sources of information on genetics. You all still seem to have this antiquated, sci-fi view of clones. If you were to clone yourself, for example, your clone would in no way be like you as far as personality goes. You and your clone will likely have entirely different upbringings, therefore entirely different personalities.
clone oneself, that would be awesome! and if you dont agree, my clone probably will, caus his me...
here's an animal that clone its self. Mourning Gecko. cloning is natural?
Why only 98% of the dna?
i already know how to breed pokemon
We're all missing the big picture here.... We want unicorns, piggies, cows and what not- but think about it... We could clone ourselves our very own David Tennant or Bill Gates- Hell, our own private Dnews for our cellars/basements/attics! Priorities people! Haha.
is that even healthy to eat cloned beef?
Darn no secretariat
of course environment plays the most important role in dictating what something ultimately becomes, heck everything we perceive as tangible is a product of it's environment!
but i just really don't like humans directly manipulating DNA. it can still fail, and when it fails it has the possibility to become disastrous, particularly if we would become too dependent on it.
plus it not just limits but it could stop the creation of those genetic variations that are so very important to evolution.
Lol
CLONE THE VOCALOIDS!
Raze Haze yesss

Cloned animals are only 98% genetically similar to the donor? I always thought they were 100% genetically similar.
Mitochondrial DNA isn't taken from the donor.
MrPraktiskais aahhhh...good point... can u imagine in the future.. the only way to tell if a human is a clone is to see if they have mitochondrial DNA present at all. creepy...then there will be social standing based on your "maternal authenticity"... humans at the top and clones are oppressed....creepy huh?
Lyness Rogers Hahaha cool idea but not what he meant. Cloned animals still have mitochondrial DNA, just not from the donor. Theirs will come from the mother that supplies the egg that will grow into them. :)
Never thought of that. .. That makes sense. .. Actually. Much more sense. ...
do we really want asia to clone dogd?
i wont that shirt
Cloning for the use of Public Safety seems like an extraordinary idea. Like the dog who sniff bombs.
But in the realm of competition, cloning winners seems like cheating. Especially since the rich would be the only ones capable to afford the cloned animals.
So the future of reality-tv will be like "let's clone Lindsay Lohan and Macaulay Culkin and see what happens when we keep them from the drugs!"
Yay...
I would love to clone my horse if it ever passes away I can easily have the same one again if anyone knew the amazing bond between a horse and a person it wouldnt sound like a bad idea... NOT AT ALL!
I'd clone myself if I could live forever and rule over you plebs and play polo and raise my pinky finger as I drink my tea.
I would make Thanos look like a girl scout. Half? Under achiever.
Flourish the pinky
Clones are fine. We could do with some more Kate Winslet and Megan Fox.
how to get more views: don't answer your own question in the tittle of the video...
clone perfect people
👏😆
I still find it creepy.
For the first Human Clones we should have them do the EXACT same Routine everyday intill they're 18. Then we have the first perfectly Identical Clones!
why dont we clone HUMANS at least one
Duplication has its merits in comparing nature and nurture, and might create a sport in this way, but I see no other reason to do so. I wouldn't want such monotonous life forms out there. I think natural breeding is the best way to direct the development of traits.
i dont give a F about polo but cloning has a big problem vs diseases
Lets clone kellin quinn, vic fuentes and gerard way!
