The sperm and the egg would contain different copies of the chromosomes. The cell randomly divides its chromosomes when it becomes an egg or sperm. When they merge, two halves of a genome form a full one again. But some chromosomes would be there as doubles, others would be lost. The effect would be the same as incest. Mutations that would be hidden in a healthy cell would emerge.

No, it is something different. Cloning creates a another being with the exact same DNA. This would allow people, who can't produce viable sperm/egg cells, to reproduce with their partner. First patients would be infertile men and women.

In my experience, a lot of these politics are purely performative. Politicians get elected on the promise of 'reducing regulations' to 'release the economy', without any connection to reality. In office they than have to do something that looks like the thing they fought for. We've seen the same after Brexit. The 'bad and idiotic' EU regulations were dropped and untreated sewage was let into the sea.

It's even more confusing: Emojis were invented in Japan, which adds another layer of cultural differences. Holding your hands flat against each other is a common sign for prayer in Christianity, but in Japan it is a commen gesture for giving thanks. Hence the "official" meaning: Thank you

Maybe they mean lupus? I think wolfes were already extinct in the 1600s on the British isles.
