Re: can you clone a dead person?
libfemme ( 09/24/2003, 03:43:06 )There are two different useages of the word Life. A life is different from living. A Life refers to an individual organism. For humans that is a complete person. Part of you can die, you can lose an arm or a leg, you shed skin cells every day, and yet You remain alive. Conversly you Life can end in a car accident. You can be brain dead. But your heart or kidney can continue to be alive for several hours and be transplanted in another person's body.Individual cells that are still alive from a person who is otherwise dead could be cloned.Also, DNA is part of bionic but not in and of itself a "Life". You can take DNA from dead skin cells, saliva, blood or tissue and make a DNA match years later. You can also take a living cell, such as an egg cell, suction out the nucleus so it no longer has its own DNA and then insert DNA from some doner cell, including a dead one. It is called denuclear transfer or somatic cell transfer.
