SECOND ADULT-ANIMAL CLONES BORN IN JAPAN:
Two special calves were born Sunday - the first clones from calves cells from
an adult cow, Japanese scientists reported. The twins were born exactly
two years after the British sheep that made history by becoming the
first clone of an adult animal. The Japanese adult-animal clones were
produced by a similar technique, said Toyokazu Morita, an official of
the Ishikawa Prefectural Livestock Research Center. "We have succeeded
in producing calves from adult-animal clones, meaning that we can
produce calves exactly similar to adult cows," he said.
