Either there's a pun I'm just not getting or there's a spelling error up there.

What has not been explained in that article is how they overcame the telomere shortening problem, assuming that the cloned polo ponies are not prematurely aged.

I don't know what you're talking about and definitely didn't just fix it.

And: The "telomere shortening problem" was never a problem. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_%28sheep%29#Death) They thought it might be! Then investigated! Then conclusively ruled it out.

*rubs eyes and checks glasses for spots* Stigmatism! *titter*

I'm going to have to read that later and update my understanding of the 'prematurely aged Dolly the Sheep clones' thing. Thanks!

I hate it when you people imagine typographical errors that are not there and clearly never were there, ever.
