Radical Edward Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2936401.stm recent research on monkeys has not produced a single pregnancy after hundreds of attempts, shedding much doubt on the recent claims by several groups, the raelians amongst them, that a human clone is possible, and indeed has been achieved. The obstacle according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine appeqrs to be the way the genetic information is parcelled up when the cell divides.

fafalone Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Impossible with the technique they used with Dolly (and all theo ther things they cite), not impossible by theory. they are already working on other methods. the problem relates to the organization of binding proteins, this will be worked around.

Radical Edward Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 "currently" impossible then still it means that the raelians and so on were talking out of their backsides, though we knew they were all along, this just adds weight to it.
