A “healthy” rhesus monkey cloned in China has survived for more than two years and is providing “valuable insights” into the scientific process, according to researchers.
Scientists in China used a modified version of the same technique that was used to create Dolly the sheep, the world’s first cloned mammal.
Out of the 113 cloned embryos, 11 were implanted into surrogate monkeys, but only one survived.
Named ReTro, the male rhesus monkey was born following a gestation period of 157 days.
The team said that although the success rate of producing viable and healthy clones is low – less than 1% in this instance – it advances the understanding of the mechanisms involved in primate cloning.
What about the humans that were cloned? You know, the ones you kept secret? How are they doing?
Or is this the ‘soft tell’ that it’s going well?
Keriger was to marry 宮住 美津子 but Lana had to fuck that up so not so well I guess.
I’m not sure why you’re downvoted. It’s China. If they can do it, you know they are. But the question is whether they can. I imagine cloning sheep and small monkeys are much easier than cloning humans.
