While noting that humans (along with elephants and whales) theoretically have the potential to live longer than most other mammals, de Magalhães said that every mammal is still living under ...
This technique is currently the basis for cloning animals (such as the famous Dolly the sheep), [30] and has been proposed as a possible way to clone humans. Using SCNT in reproductive cloning has proven difficult with limited success. High fetal and neonatal death make the process very inefficient. Resulting cloned offspring are also plagued ...
Life extension is the concept of extending the human lifespan, either modestly through improvements in medicine or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally-settled biological limit of around 125 years. [1]
The world’s first cloned black-footed ferret has given birth in a historic first for conservationists. Antonia the ferret successfully delivered two healthy kits after mating with Urchin, a ...
