  6. Cow - Human ClonesHuman cloning from human cell and cows egg • The world's first human clone of an adult has now been made, by an American biotechnology company in Massachusetts, Advanced Cell Technology.  They took a cell from Dr Jose Cibelli, a research scientist and combined it with a cows egg from which the genes had already been removed. (News November 1998) • The genes activated and the egg began to divide in the normal way up to the 32 cell stage at which it was destroyed.  If the clone had been allowed to continue beyond implantation it would have developed as Dr Cibelli's identical twin.    Technically 1% of the human clone genes would have belonged to the cow - the mitochondria genes.
