Abdullah Siddiqi, New Delhi. Scientists involved in cloning, whether for medical or reproductive purposes, deserve encouragement. My studies at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore, on the cotton plant showed that the cytogene distributed in the cytoplasm of the plant cell interacts with the nuclear gene and determines the quantitative character of the plant. Such research work is probably yet to be done in animals and lack of such information may explain the failure of some experiments in cloning animals. Dr S.D. Peter, Agricultural consultant, Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Experts are very clear about the stages, procedures and the process of cloning.
But the human being is not just a biological entity alone. The Holy Bible says that God made man in his own likeness. Adaikalarasa, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. Good for them, good for Bina Ramani. Hard luck, Jessica.
