VIRTUAL CLONING
***http://users.rcn.com/tdiann/d_virtu.htm

Virtual Cloning is also known in less polite company as Spamming.

It occurs whenever companies with names like CyberSputum decide to spew out identical bulk mailings to two million hapless victims

CLONING PROCEDURE
***http://www.iptv.org/exploremore/ge/what/clone.cfm

1. Isolate donor nucleus
Isolate the nucleus from a somatic (non-reproductive) cell of a adult donor sheep. The nucleus contains the complete genetic material
of the organism. This step is repeated many times to gather many cell nuclei. A very small needle and syringe (suction device) is used
to poke through the cell membrane to capture the nucleus and remove it from the cell.

2.Get unfertilized eggs
Retrieve unfertilized egg cells (reproductive) from a female sheep. Many eggs are needed since not all of them will survive the various
steps of cloning.

3. Remove the egg's nucleus
Remove the egg cell's nucleus, which contains only one-half of the sheep's genetic material. A very small needle and syringe
(suction device) is used to poke through the cell membrane to capture the nucleus and remove it from the cell.

4. Insert donor nucleus
Insert the nucleus, with its complete genetic material, isolated from the donor mammal in Step 1 into the egg cell that has no
nuclear material. The egg's genetic material now contains all traits from the donor adult. This egg is genetically identical to
the donor adult.

5. Place the egg into womb
Place the egg into a female sheep's womb. Only a small percentage of eggs placed in the womb will start to mature. Those eggs that
survive will continue to develop into embryos. The egg matures in the womb. When the offspring is born, it is a clone
(genetically identical) of the donor sheep.

CLONING POSSIBILITIES
***http://www.iptv.org/exploremore/ge/issues/issue6.cfm

Imagine a dodo bird waddling on a pond near your house. Or a woolly mammoth lumbering along. How about a pterodactyl soaring overhead?
Sound far out? Genetic engineering (GE) makes it possible to "resurrect" extinct species, just like in the movie Jurassic Park. As an
animated tour guide in the movie explains, it all comes down to DNA. If you can recover a useable sample of an organism's DNA
(easier said than done), then biotechnology gives you the tools to clone (copy) that DNA, insert it into an egg, and develop it into a
dinosaur or any extinct animal. This process is not just movie make-believe though, it is really happening! In Iowa, a cow named Bessie
bore a calf that was not a cow at all but a gaur, an ox-like animal native to the jungles of India and Burma. The gaur DNA was cloned into
a cow's egg, which had its own DNA removed. That egg was then implanted into Bessie who carried the gaur and gave birth to it.
(Sadly, the gaur died shortly after its birth due to a bacterial infection.)

The gaur is not extinct, but endangered, which brings up an important point. GE could actually help save species teetering on the edge
of extinction, an opportunity in the eyes of some scientists. They view GE as a way to preserve biodiversity, keeping as many species in
the mix as possible. They also see it as a way to reverse the harmful effects humans have on the animal kingdom. Not everyone shares that
sunny outlook though. Critics say the technology will produce herds of animals that are genetically identical. These identical herds would
share not only the same strengths, but the same weaknesses. This would leave them vulnerable to diseases that could wipe out the entire
herd, actually reducing biodiversity. Another concern centers on habitats for these cloned animals. Many animals face endangerment and
extinction because their natural habitat is disappearing, or because the habitat no longer has the food, water, or shelter the animal needs
to survive. Will a zoo be the only place these clones can live?
