When clones mate with ordinary animals, their offspring are created by the natural merging of egg and sperm--not by the reprogramming of a mature cell--which may erase any reprogramming errors in the clone. The proof is that Dolly gave birth to five healthy lambs. Cloned cows, pigs and mice are also bearing normal offspring. But when clones mate with other clones, all bets are off. Mice created this way appear to accumulate more abnormalities with each generation...
