Scientists face impossible choice over preservation of priceless blue crab blood: Let vital medicines wither or an endangered bird - Lemmy.ca

I'm sorry but, was the whole successfully cloning animals thing just a fever dream? Is there a reason we can't be doing that for something like this? (Disclaimer: am stupid, pls ELI5)
I, too, would like to know if we shared the same fever dream.
If I remember right, cloning is banned in most places. Or at least there was talk about banning cloning in the EU in the early 10’s.
