HISTORY OF CLONING
Researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University produced the first clone of human or at least, well, a human embryo a small clump of stem cells of which each has the potential to become any human cell in the body, While there has been a lot of discussions about this after all, Scientists have been researching cloning for over 100 years.
EARLY EMBRYO STUDIES
Actually, a sea urchin was the first animal cloned in a lab and it was over 100 years ago by Hans Driesch. A few years later in 1935. Hans Spemann won the Nobel Prize in medicine for his work that produced cloned salamanders. Both of these early experiments, however, simply involved breaking apart cells from very early stage embryos to produced more than one copy of the same organism. It is essentially the way identical twins, triplets, and other identical multiple birth occur.
