Ray Guy: Put a clone factory in Newfoundland!

Cloning has leapt from science fiction to science fact. Once merely the realm of imagination (a duplicate Elvis, a rink full of Gretzkys, or an army of Hitlers), the science of cloning, for medical advance or for reproduction, has raced ahead of public policy and ethical debate. From cloned cows to UFO cults, for better or for worse, Canada finds itself in the centre of the clone age.

Newfoundland's Ray Guy offers a humorous commentary on the news of the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
