biology - nuclear transfer (clone creating)

Nuclear Transfer is a form of cloning. The steps involve removing the DNA from an oocyte and while(unfertilized egg), and injecting the nucleus which contains the DNA to be cloned. In rare instances, the newly constructed cell will divide normally, replicating the new DNA while remaining in a pluripotent state. If the cloned cells are placed in the uterus of a female mammal, a cloned organism develops to term in rare instances. This is how Dolly the Sheep and many other species were cloned. Alternatively, if cells are extracted from the cloned cells during very early embryonic stages (blastocyst or morula), embryonic stem cells can be created. These cells can be grown in laboratories indefinitely and can theoretically be made into any of the 200+ cell types in the mammalian body, and thus are an extraordinary tool for biologists as well as a therapeutic agent with the potential to treat currently untreatable medical conditions.

hahahaha u ALL are funny:D

one thing is for sure; Science rocks! (and we are N-E-R-D-S ::D)

[Wes123Sew321]

isnt cloning worldwide forbidden?

or just in some countries?

[paowluki]

cloning humans is forbidden everywhere.except china...

[RedMist316]

@paowluki why aren't we allowed to clone humans?

[paowluki]

@RedMist316 to talk objectively,cloning humans is considered unethical,even by scientists. it also includes many technical problems,plus the life of a cloned organism is barely as qualified as the one of a non-clone.if u ask my opinion,humans should stay away from cloning themselves. we created technology and let it destroy us,we dont have to do the same with science.

why china?? theres too amny ppl there why you want more??? lol

[etheangel2220]

we are too stupid and childish as a human race to ever take on something as serious as cloning. i know as soon as the first clones are a reality, they will be discriminated against and regarded as less than human by the unspoken majority. we dont even value the human life we have now, but thats ethical stuff. in practical terms, we dont manage our resources effectively enough to support a new and sudden population. there are many things wrong with cloning besides ethics

Wow! Nice!! =]

[baznian]

It looks like my eye floater :D

@mkr2424 Fuck Jesus! Hail Lucifer, the light bearer!

Clone baby clone!

[MardukHail]

Thanks for posting this. This is super awesome!

[jizburg]

@mkr2424 or.. we will both just die someday and rott away. no heaven no hell.

[Tyrik73]

@psychosavant That will creates zombies.

@mkr2424

One of these days, despite the constant meddling of religious dogma, we'll have the capability of restoring life to the deceased. Only then will we have the pleasure of rubbing your ignorance into your deluded little face. It's unfortunate for you that there is no way you'll ever be able to prove the existence of heaven or hell, since, given our current progress in our understanding of human medical biology, we'll soon be capable of proving the lack thereof.

@paowluki Think of it this way, if we started cloning, and the original individual had a genetic problem or some sort of deficiency that would otherwise be weeded out with natural selection / evolution, that problem would then exist in all the clones.

@RedMist316 idk but it would be cool to raise yourself right!

[lucasvandam]

@paowluki it is not, even some states in amerika allow human cloning for research.

In Afrika it is also allowed and a lot more countrys cloning is allowed
