If you're going to quote one paragraph, I think the following is more interesting:
"In 1999, scientists published data suggesting Dolly’s telomeres were too short for her age. Since then, scientists have cloned a whole menagerie of animals: mice, horses, cattle, pigs, dogs, and so on. Studies of their telomere lengths have turned up every possible result: Clones have shorter telomeres, clones have longer telomeres, and clones have normal telomeres—depending on the species or cloning technique."
This seems to suggest that telomeres might be much less connected with aging than initially believed by some researchers.
