China cloning on an 'industrial scale' using human technicians instead of machines

China cloning on an 'industrial scale' using human technicians instead of machines
The technology involved is not particularly novel - but what is new is the application of mass production. The first shed contains 90 animals in two long rows. They look perfectly normal, as one would expect, but each of them is carrying cloned embryos. Many are clones themselves. The facility produces an astonishing 500 cloned pigs a year: China is exploiting science on an industrial scale.
