Summary : Katrin Hinrichs, a veterinarian at Texas A&M University in College Station who specializes in reproduction and is known as a theriongenologist, cloned the horse Cambiaso first rode in a polo match. Hinrichs stresses that it’s difficult to separate the importance of a rider’s expertise from the contribution of a great horse. “If it’s Adolfo Cambiaso, he could probably ride plow horses,” jokes Hinrichs, who suggests some of the interest in cloned polo horses is “public relations.” Cambiaso is now part of a company based in Texas and Argentina, Crestview Genetics, that breeds cloned horses for polo matches. Crestview has cloned more than 200 horses since 2009. “We’ve thrown a tidal wave of money at an idea we had that just so happened to work out,” says Meeker, whose interest in cloning began when he developed type 1 diabetes as an adult and wanted a new pancreas. “We’ve turned the breeding industry that does equine around by 180°
Analysis; I honestly feel like this a horrible way to produce animals in order to just win a simple polo game. For instance,we should find cures for diseases such as cancer and many other deadly diseases people are suffering from everyday. New techniques are constantly being developed but even the success rate is very low which means instead of solving problems we will be creating them. http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-news/2016/12/six-cloned-horses-take-one-polo-player-to-victory.aspx
