Researchers have successfully cloned a rhesus monkey named Retro, marking a significant advance as the second primate species to be cloned. 

Cloning monkeys may offer new avenues for scientific exploration, disease research, and species conservation.

The ethical aspects of cloning animals, especially primates, raise concerns, but the researchers assert compliance with Chinese laws and guidelines.
