The First Human Cloned Embryo
Jose B. Cibelli; Robert P. Lanza; Michael D. West
Scientific American, January 2002, pp. 44-51

is an accomplished fact. The potential therapeutic benefits are
enormous.
-
Dolly Was Lucky
John Travis
Science News, October 20, 2001, pp. 250-251
- The success rate in producing clones of mammals is still very
low. It is suspected that this is because of problems with gene
regulation in cloned embryos, possibly involving problems with the
process of methylation.
-
Cloning Noah's Ark
Robert P. Lanza; Betsy L. Dresser; Philip Damiani
Scientific American, November 2000, pp. 84-89
- The ability to clone mammals, even though it has existed only
a very few years, has already led to a number of applications.
One of the latest is a new way to preserve endangered species.
