Oh
welcome to watchmojo.com it we’re
counting down the five most interesting
facts about the fascinating and just a
little spooky scientific frontier of
genetic cloning no more Doug’s that’s it
this is plenty I think number five Dolly
the sheep made history the first living
breathing clone of an adult mammal mary
had a little lamb but we cloned one
Dolly was the very first mammal cloned
from adult cells Scottish researchers
took a somatic cell from the mammary
glands of one adult sheep fuse them to
unfertilized egg cells from another
sheep and implanted the cloned embryo
into one more sheep
it took 277 tries but in 1996 Dolly the
sheep named after Dolly Parton was
brought into the world I thought it
would be a good idea to call it Dolly
after Tony Parton I don’t think I need
to explain any more than that
Dolly proves that with the right cells
you can successfully clone an adult
mammal sadly Dolly lived for only six
years but her legacy will live on
forever
number four there is hope and cloning
extinct animals they did the crazy Sun
bet you did
this has got to be the holy grail of
genetics even as we speak scientists are
working on cloning a woolly mammoth
using tissue samples from a well
preserved carcass found in Siberia
believe it or not scientists actually
succeeded in cloning an extinct animal
before the Pyrenean ibex extinct since
the year 2000 using the last ibex as
frozen cells scientists tried the same
technique used to create dolly and a
surrogate mother of a similar species
the process was a qualified success the
clone died minutes after birth due to
lung defects the experiment may not have
ended well but it did show that there is
hope for species de-extinction life uh
finds away number three a South Korean
lab will clone your pet
don’t say pani and dead in the same
thing follow
please I’m finding it hard enough to
cope not pulling yourself together are
you okay let’s say your Shih Tzu just
died
do not put her in the freezer with the
corn dogs instead wrap her up in wet
bath towels and put her in the fridge
next to the hot dogs you now have five
days to get a vet to extract some tissue
samples and ship them off to Seoul South
Korea where suan biotech will make you a
shih tzu number two however it’s gonna
cost you about a hundred thousand US
dollars plus that bath towel because
you’re never gonna use that again I want
you to go down to repent and get oliver
replaced also while your cloned puppy
may look like your old pal there’s no
guarantee that they’ll behave like the
original so you could be paying 100
grand for a blank canvas that’s your
personal choice but we often say try a
different breed try a different gender
because we don’t want you to try to
actually replace the pet number two the
first animal ever cloned was a sea
urchin that famous sheep may have been
the first animal cloned from adult cells
but technically the first animal ever to
be cloned was a sea urchin way back in
the 1880s German biologist Hans dalish
experimented on a two celled sea urchin
embryo by dividing it into two embryonic
cells he expected them to create two
halves of one sea urchin what he got
instead was to complete and separate sea
urchins was it a fluke no not really
this experiment showed that each cell in
the embryo is pluripotent mean
has its own set of genetic instructions
and can turn into a full organism as in
the case of twins in fact some argue
that Druce wasn’t actually cloning but
artificially twinning aren’t they
magnificent the men do I love finding a
good set of twins something is wrong
number one human cloning is widely
outlawed this might come as a downer but
despite the wild claims of a few small
groups there’s no proof of cloned humans
ever being created many countries and
states make a distinction between
cloning for Reproductive purposes and
for therapeutic purposes and create laws
to restrict or prohibit one or both the
day I am issuing a directive that bans
the use of any federal funds of any
cloning of human beings people and
lawmakers are mostly concerned with the
ethical questions that human cloning
raises for instance if you clone
yourself would you be able to steal your
clones organs when yours falter
what do we do if it doesn’t work kill us
both Spock haha or if we really start
playing with the human genome wouldn’t
that open the door to eugenics and most
importantly what would happen if you
clone your clone you can’t just go
around cloning people that’s just that’s
crazy so how about you would you pay a
hundred grand for a clone of your dog
and it makes me wonder if people have
let you down in your life and what would
you do if someone you didn’t like
started cloning themselves for more
ethically ambiguous toptenz and wet
towel top fives be sure to subscribe to
