Egg Manufacturing Key to Mass Cloning Agenda

Egg Manufacturing Key to Mass Cloning Agenda » Secondhand Smoke | A First Things Blog: "The human cloning agenda has stalled because of what I call the “egg dearth.” Here’s what I mean: Each try at somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning to manufacture a human being (or, member of the species Homo sapiens, if you prefer) requires a human egg. (Biotechnologists have tried using animal eggs, but apparently to no avail.) But human eggs outside the body are few and far between. There are enough for IVF, but way too few for the hundreds of thousands needed for the extensive trial and error process that will be required to prefect human SCNT, at least to develop the cloned embryo to the point where stem cells can be harvested and eventually, cloned embryos eventually gestated to birth."
