How
Cloning Works
Step 1— ENUCLEATION: The genetic material (DNA) of the recipient
human egg is removed through a process called enucleation.
Step 2 – SOMATIC CELL TRANSFER: A human
somatic cell of the donor (person to be cloned) is injected into the enucleated
egg. In this way, the recipient human egg now has the complete DNA of the
donor (person to be cloned).
Step 3 - CELL FUSION: An electrical pulse is applied across the two
cells causing them to fuse.
THE RESULT: An asexually reproduced HUMAN EMBRYO that is an identical
twin to the person seeking to be cloned.This is cloning as we know it today.
This process was used to
produce Dolly the sheep.
In Therapeutic Cloning, a cloned human embryo is used for spare partts
and is killed. In Reproductive Cloning, the cloned embryo is allowed
to be born.

plays--The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet and King Lear--in order to uncover the Bard's Catholic beliefs. In The Quest for Shakespeare, which has been made
into an EWTN television series, Pearce delved into the known biographical evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism. Here the popular and provocative author digs into
the plays, which were written and first performed during the English crown's persecution of Catholics. English history and literature were taught for generations through
the prism of English Protestantism. Of late both of these fields have been dominated in universities and academic presses by modern scholars with filters and
interpretations of their own. Though the evidence for Shakespeare's Catholicism has been studied before now, thanks, in part, to the unique contribution of
Joseph Pearce, the Bard's genius is being analyzed in the open air of the public arena, the very place where Shakespeare intended his dramas to entertain and edify.
