Is this because of telomeres or whatever? What's stopping us (aside from not having the tech) from scanning the genome of some animal into a computer, then building new DNA based on the digital data with new telomeres?

I would imagine it has something to do with that, i'd be interested to know more about the study. Have the telomeres been getting longer and longer the whole time, through each clone? It makes sense that you'd clone the telomeres and continously make them longer instead of restarting the clock

No article says Muller's ratchet, guy could not stop himself.
In all seriousness they accumulate too many mutations after the 25th generation because they're not perfect clones as in they don't have the exact same sets and quantities of genes as their forerunners. Just resubbing their own dna and why this is female only "cloning"
