Lol not far off. A common thing with cloned animals is they experience ‘oldness’ quicker. They get arthritis, frail bones etc. Depends how the cloning was done but if it was somatic cell nuclear transfer, it’s because of the ‘dna donor’s’ epigenetic tags. So the cloned animal will have some epigenetic tags of someone who has lived a life.
