I also want to know how much we have to know - there are a few processes of cloning.
Nuclear transfer, embryo splitting, etc.
Should we be able to know each step of some methods of cloning?
um embyro splitting im not really aware of......
the main differences you need to be aware of are in therapeutic cloning and embryonic cloning.
therapeutic cloning involves (though im not 100% sure) taking the embryonic technique further. a stem cell is allowed to undergo mitotic divisions in a laboratory, effectively growing the tissue it was predisposed to be. im not really sure on this area though, but i think you just need to be aware of therapeutic cloning's use as an alternative to gene therapy, although they are very similar.
I believe that embryonic splitting can occur naturally and result in identical twins.
