A 20-year Japanese study has just showered the hopes of cloning. By cloned a line of mice over 58 generations, scientists have discovered an impassable limit: the accumulation of genetic mutations leads to a fatal " mutational collapse". This discovery proves that asexual reproduction cannot maintain a species of mammal in the long term.
