The Powering Politics Podcast is available six times a week, but you might not be.

If you want to catch up on what happened this week in politics, join me, Laura Dangelow and some of Canada's most tuned-in political strategists to break down the week that was.

Short on time, the weekly wrap has you covered with a new episode every Saturday.

This is a CBC podcast.

Okay, folks, this week on Sick Boy, me and the boys, we're doing a deep dive on one of the most

controversial and ethically charged topics of our time, cloning.

That's right.

We go deep into this based on a recent story of a man named Arthur Scubarth.

Shubarth?

Schuberth.

Either way, however he pronounced it, he's an 81-year-old rancher

who was recently sentenced to six months in federal prison

for illegally cloning sheep for trophy hunting, specifically.

And so that sent us down this rabbit hole of cloning in the 21st century. We explore Dolly the sheep. We go into the, you know, the moral,

the legal, the scientific dilemmas of genetic modification. We go into talking about the

woolly mammoth and things as weird as cloning your own pets, which people are doing.

It's a trend.

And then, of course, we dive into some fringe theories surrounding cloning, you know, like my favorite, the human hybrid animal.

Human animal hybrids.

They're coming to get you.

It's a super fun ride through the intersection of all these things,

biotechnology, environmental ethics, the future of life, as we know it.
