(By contrast, embryos created by in vitro fertilization, which also start out in a petri dish, are pretty much home free if they make it past the first month in the womb.) Dolly, in fact, was the sole survivor of 277 cloning attempts. Clones, as the scientists who make them are fond of saying, are the exception rather than the rule...

Well, my mother is a Holocaust survivor. She lost her entire family to Hitler's death camps, and her motto is, If Hitler didn't get me, nothing can. So she's steely, although she has softened with age. Her house was run like a boot camp. She wasn't cuddly, really. She was just strong, hard, determined and not motherly in the classic sense...
