Cloning Ronaldo: Sports’ Identity Crisis

Imagine waking up tomorrow and seeing 11 Cristiano Ronaldos on a soccer field. Each one does his

famous celebration. Each one has his incredible athletic skills. Each one has that

winning attitude. This isn't just science fiction anymore. Chinese scientists

have already cloned monkeys with a 95% success rate. When you learn what could happen if

we clone just one Ronaldo, you'll see why this might be the most dangerous thing

in sports history. The question isn't if we can do it, it's what happens when we do.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 39 years old and still playing amazing soccer, but every athlete

gets old eventually. Soccer teams would pay billions of dollars for a 23-year-old Ronaldo at his best.
