Illegal Beings: Human Clones
The First Cloned Mammal
libfemme ( 09/24/2003, 02:25:46 )Dolly was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell.Cloning can mean separating embryo cells or turning back the clock on adult cells to make them act like embryo cells.The first kind of cloning happens naturally (identical twins.) It was down artifically as early as 1894 with a sea urchin.But the second type, cloning from an adult cell, specifically the lining of a frog's intestine, wasn't done until 1962. It shocked people. However everyone said it was impossible to clone higher order animals like humans that way because mammals can't be cloned from adult cells.In 1997 the skin cells of an adult sheep was used to make a new lamb. She was named Dolly. Sicne then other mammals have been cloned from adult cells.Sheep were cloned from embryo cells in 1984. But it wasn't until Dolly that the first mammal was cloned from an Adult cell. It was evidence that humans might be clonable from adult cells too.Remember everyone knows humans can be cloned from embryo cells. That's what makes identical twin brothers and sisters.
