2) What is the name of the technology?
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
3) Is it currently available or still in development?
Still in development
4) How does it work?
The nucleus/DNA of a somatic cell is extracted and moved into a controlled growth
environment in order to develop a organism identical to the donor.
5) Do you believe technology such as this is morally sound or not?
From a moral standpoint, I dont believe that the technology should take place on animals due
to the fact that the animals that survive incubation can struggle from various health conditions.
Along with this, it is incredbile unlikely for a clone to makeit to adulthood, cutting a living organism’s
life short. There are plenty of areas that are still uhnknown and leave much room for area, possibly
resulting in a detrimental life for the animal.
