2. Somatic cell nuclear transfer involves taking the nucleus from a non–reproductive cell and inserting it into an egg cell.
3. Scientists take a cell from the animal to be duplicated –– typically a skin cell – and fuse it to an egg cell whose own DNA has been removed.
4. The specific issue is a stem cell technology called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Stem cells can become any type of cell in the human body.
