First Human Clone Eight Weeks Along

Posted by chrisd on from the send-in-the-you-know-whats dept.

Vegeta99 writes "An Italian researcher is claiming ground-breaking progress, and has successfully cloned a human, and the mother is now 8 weeks pregnant, according to this article. Now how long until I can buy my own clone?" It's worth noting that the Roman medical associations bioethicists denied Dr. Antinori permission to proceed with these experiments last month. So doing the math, Rome was a little late... If the pregnancy continues without miscarriage, the tyke may share a birthday with Marie Curie

    Is the sex of a human baby determined partially by temperature, like in chickens? Could I technically have a female clone? If brothers and sisters often produce mutations in their offspring (bloody tasmanians), what is to happen if two people with the same dna reproduce?

    The events are related. The proposition is certainly a possibility - even though I disagree.

    You are the fallacy!
