An add to limits on cloning mice www.nature.com/articles/d41... I noted earlier that 58 generations of humans would be about 1600 yrs. But, also, if you froze cells from the 1st, or other early, clones, you should be able to restart with them. Say, run 30 generations then start again. Indefinitely?
Can a mouse be cloned indefinitely? Decades-long experiment has answers
Repeated cloning from a single mouse failed after 58 generations. Researchers say harmful DNA changes are to blame.

I wonder how many Iranian protesters Trump just got killed. "Go ahead, protest, the US has your back." Oh, wait, never mind. I'm almost done listening to The King of Kings, a new history of the 1979 Iranian Revolution by Scott Anderson. VERY good, I think. I just got to the part wh/the new regime
