(CBS) Will pet cloning one day be common? Jim Axelrod reports.
CC, short for Carbon Copy, is the world’s first cloned cat, born last December.
“She’s perfectly healthy. She’s a playful, normal happy little kitten,” says Lou Hawthorne, CEO of Genetic Savings and Clone, the California company that spent millions of dollars to produce the clone.
It took 87 tries to produce CC – so there’s a lot more research to be done. But Hawthorne is convinced that once the kinks are out, the practice will be widespread.
