Default China : Has done a Clone of a Rhesus Monkey




The Cloned Monkey


What will stop them from doing humans?
You could make a New Army?


[Now, for the first time, scientists have
successfully cloned a rhesus monkey
(Macaca mulatta), a primate species noted
for its closeness to humans.

The experts in China used
somatic cells – animal cells other than
sperm and egg cells – from a rhesus monkey
to create the genetically identical copy. ]

It's not Star Wars you can't just clone a fully grown human - you can create a genetically identical copy but they still start out as a baby.

In other words, it would be no quicker - and far more expensive - than just training up an army of regular ol' babies.

An army of babies would be of less use than their terracotta army.
