Brave new world... By David, Loïc & Benoît


In 1997, Dolly the sheep attracted the attention of the world. Now, 14 years later, cloning methods have undergone a new revolution. Researches of a New York laboratory have discovered that if human skin cells are transferred into a human egg, it forms an early embryo. These stem cells can be transformed into any type of cell for the body... It is like a “repair kit” for the body ; People injured in an accident could have their damaged body parts replaced !


Cloning is a science that is still in its infancy. People remain weary of this type of medicine, but experiments show encouraging results.

  1. I think this technique will be problematic with laws that already perturb biologic researches on plants if you want to use it commonly in medicine.
