The university is heavily involved in research on cloning and embryo transfer. Keep an open mind. In embryo transfer, if a producer could split the embryos in half, then he could potentially get twice the calf crop.
Cloning has a huge potential in providing human replacement parts for the future.
In an experiment done in California, a goat gave birth to her identical twin sister through freezing one half of an embryo. The cloning process begins with the removal of the nucleus of an unfertilized egg. With a jolt of electricity, these cells fuse and this new egg hopefully forms an embryo. This embryo is then placed in a surrogate mother. Gene Banking Tissue samples are collected from the abdomen and cheek of the animal.
