COURT RULES 'FRAUD AND HOAX'. "In 1978 David Rorvik made the startling claim that the world's first human clone had been born ... He was a respected writer who had worked as a medical reporter for both Time and the New York Times ... He laid out the full story of the clone in a book titled In His Image: The Cloning of a Man, published by J.B. Lippincott Company," http://lnkd.in/dDUXrWV View in LinkedIn

"FIRST HUMAN HYBRID HUMAN CLONE was created in November 1998, by American Cell Technologies. It was created from a man's leg cell, and a cow's egg whose DNA was removed. It was destroyed after 12 days ... according to ACT: "[ACT's] aim was 'therapeutic cloning' not 'reproductive cloning'." http://www.innovateus.net/content/what-human-cloning View in LinkedIn

HUMAN EMBRYOS CLONED FROM SKIN CELLS, 2008, “No other scientific group has documented the cloning of an adult human cell, much less been able to grow it to the blastocyst stage, the stage at which it is the adult donor cell that is driving embryonic development, the stage that yields the cells (the inner cell mass) from which embryonic stem cell lines are made,” said French" (Stemagen’s Chief Scientific Officer).

FIRST PATIENT SPECIFIC STEM CELLS, 2013. "It was hailed some 15 years ago as the great hope for a biomedical revolution: the use of cloning techniques to create perfectly matched tissues that would someday cure ailments ranging from diabetes to Parkinson’s disease. Mitalipov and his team have finally created patient-specific ESCs through cloning." http://lnkd.in/d3CYAwb View in LinkedIn

HUMAN CELL CLONING VERIFIED, 2014. "An international team of stem cell scientists has replicated human therapeutic cloning to make embryonic stem cells via somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) ... led by Drs. Dong Ryul Lee of CHA Stem Cell Institute in Korea and Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology (ACT) ...The cells expressed pluripotency markers ...and had normal karyotypes." http://lnkd.in/daU66uN View in LinkedIn

OLD HUMAN CELLS CAN BE CLONED. "One major important element of the new paper is the successful use of adult and elderly somatic cell nuclear donors (ages 35 and 75). Therefore, this new work indicates that SCNT may become a viable option for production of ES cells from in principle almost any person." http://lnkd.in/daU66uN View in LinkedIn

EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS CLONED FROM HUMAN SKIN (2014). "They started with nuclear DNA extracted from the skin cells of a middle-age man and ... They injected it into 77 human egg cells, and ... managed to create two viable cells that contained DNA from one or the other man. Each of those two cells is able to divide indefinitely." http://lnkd.in/dPWi6p5 View in LinkedIn

SKIN FROM 75 YEAR OLD CLONED. "Breakthrough in cloning adult stem cells may mean body parts can be grown for elderly patients. The advance could lead to new tissue-transplant operations for a range of debilitating disorders. Last year, a team created stem cells from the skin cells of babies, but it was unclear whether it would work in adults." http://lnkd.in/dzqZnRj View in LinkedIn

CLONED HUMAN CELLS. "In the 18 years since researchers cloned a sheep, scientists have found another way to produce cloned human cell lines. And the other technique, which produces "induced pluripotent stem cells," skips the step that requires a human egg cell, so some people find it less fraught, ethically." http://lnkd.in/dPWi6p5 View in LinkedIn

HUMAN CLONING BENEFITS. "Embryonic stem cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. Skin for burn victims, brain cells for the brain damaged, spinal cord cells for quadriplegics and paraplegics, hearts, lungs, livers, and kidneys could be produced." Plus treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, and other diseases. http://www.humancloning.org/benefits.html View in LinkedIn
