Good news for inconsolable parents who have lost progeny. British biologist John Gerdon, Nobel laureate 2012 Medical Award, Scientists Learned clone people for half a century. Sensational statement Gerdon did during a broadcast on the BBC. Biologist whose labors in the middle of the last century contributed to the successful cloning of the sheep Dolly, recalled that he predicted this scientific achievement. “I said that animal cloning would be possible within the next 50 years, that’s what happened. Progress has gone a long way and you can confidently say that experts will soon create the first a copy of a person. True, it will take some time – the technologies that we have now are still imperfect, and the vast majority of animal embryos have genetic defects, “- expert noted. In his opinion, for successful human cloning it will take no more than 50 years. To create an exact copy of the deceased the child will need a flap of the deceased’s skin and his mother’s egg. So far, the main question remains open – how justified is this procedure from an ethical point of view. John Gerdon sure how only the result will be visible, society will immediately change anger to grace. “When we first started talking about IVF, to this procedure treated with caution. Now let’s see what happens now. At the European Congress on Reproductive Medicine in 2009 In the year it was stated that since 1978, when Lisa was born Brown, the first “in vitro” baby, over 4 born with IVF million children, “said the biologist. He believes that scientists do not nothing unnatural – they just “recreate what they gave nature, but people could not save. “Gerdon cited statistics: when he interviewed students whether it is worth making a clone in case of death child, 60% of students said yes, but only at the request of parents. Among the opponents of this procedure were those then insisted that distraught father and mother will make a second child a copy first.
