Scientists Just Broke the Technical Barrier to Cloning Primates, Including Humans

"The technical barrier of cloning primate species, including humans, is now broken," Qiang Sun, the lead researcher on the project at the Chinese Academy of Sciences said during a press conference on Tuesday night. "In principle, it can be applied to humans. However, the reason we broke this barrier is to produce animal models that are useful for medicine and human health. There was no intention to apply this method to humans."

Twenty Years After Dolly the Sheep, We're No Closer to Cloning Humans

The first cloned mammal created a hysteria about the future of cloning. Two decades later, how much has changed?

Where are the human clones? 20 years since Dolly was unveiled we look at the future of cloning

Cloning technology is mostly used for agriculture, so where will the technology go next?

Yes, They’ve Cloned Monkeys in China. That Doesn’t Mean You’re Next.

The new monkey clones stand out, though. “It’s the first primate ever to be cloned,” said Dr. Leonard Zon, director of the stem cell program at Boston Children’s Hospital. “We are closer to humans than we’ve ever been before.”

You Love Dogs? Then Don’t Clone Them

Have the Ethical Questions Surrounding Cloning Changed Since Dolly?

The controversies remain, and new concerns have emerged, but cloning for therapeutic purposes will ultimately be accepted.

The Pros and Cons of Cloning: Is it Worth the Risk?

With so much enhancement in medical science, cloning is slowly but surely looking like it could be in our near future. However, is it really an option that should be considered as a way to extend human life?

A Brave New World Of Human Cloning

Just as the domestication of crops and livestock triggered a revolution whose impact on society still reverberates today, cloning has the potential to fundamentally alter human culture. But will we learn the lessons of the last revolution quickly enough to apply them before the next one begins?
