 They´ll Never Make A Monkey Out Of Me | | By: BizarreNews | Published: 02/02/2000 | | |  |
|
Oregon - Oregon scientists have cloned a rhesus monkey -- the first time a primate has been cloned using a technique called embryo splitting. The monkey appears completely normal in every way, said Gerald Schatten of the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, who led the research team. He writes in the journal Science that two more baby monkeys created in the same way are due in May. One main goal of the research is to use genetically identical monkeys to try to cure diseases that still plague us, Schatten said. Currently, medical researchers use genetically identical mice to study what are called models of human disease. The hope is that what cures a mouse illness might provide clues to curing the corresponding human disease. Primates would make better models, because they´re genetically closer to humans.
