      that’s not really politics, it’s about his personal council of cloned dogs. Argentinians do not realize how fucked they are going to get.

      Nothing inherently. Nature even does it sometimes, although it’s rare with larger complex organisms.

      The problems with cloning arise when it happens in bulk. Instead of a single creature with a genetic abnormality or vulnerability to disease, you now have a whole population with those weaknesses. Look up monocultures or monocropping to read some horror stories. True cloning of e.g. livestock could take those issues to the extreme.
