It is claimed that they already exist clones of humans. A few days ago, in the Italian magazine Oggi, an interview with the gynecologist was published Severino Antinori in which he claimed that he had carried out the cloning of human beings successfully.
It would be three babies born nine years ago and residing in some country in Eastern Europe, although he has refused to give personal references of families in order to preserve their privacy.
He says the parents were sterile and made a "nuclear transfer" in the oocytes of the mothers. The nucleus of a cell is introduced into an oocyte to which its haploid nucleus has been removed, and from this first ovum the fetus develops. The result, babies would be genetic copies only of mothers: that is, clones.
"I contributed to the birth of three children with the technique of human cloning. It is a girl and two boys who are now nine years old. They were born healthy and in excellent health."
To do this he used the same technique with which the famous sheep Dolly was born, an authentic clone of his progenitor. However, although the doctor ensures that the procedure is completely possible, without an analysis of the DNA of the clones There is no way to prove the truth of your statements.
It is worrisome to think that this is already possible, although some specialists disdain what has been published. I think about the fate of these children, because we know that the life of the preceding sheep was short and suffered a disease that is not clear that had nothing to do with their origin.
Can you imagine that this technique was available to everyone? On the one hand, parents who have lost a child would not rule out giving the deceased a new opportunity, although never, even if genetically the same, would he be the same person.
But there are also chilling possibilities that seem taken from a nightmare story, like the one presented by the film "Children of Brazil."
The cloning of human beings is prohibited by our legislation, as well as by that of numerous countries. What do you think of the cloning of human beings?
