The new finding brings a measure of closure to a story that first rocked the science world in February 2004, when Hwang and colleagues at Seoul National University announced they had cloned a female donor's cell by transferring its nucleus into one of her egg cells stripped of its nucleus in a procedure known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), and harvested embryonic stem cells from the resulting fusion.

Enriched uranium oxide is formed into rods and water is used both as a coolant, flowing through the reactor core to transfer heat away, and as a moderator, slowing down neutrons released by fission so that they promote further nuclear reactions.

But the favored reprogramming technique, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), otherwise known as research cloning, is fraught with ethical pitfalls as well as technical difficulties because it entails creating a human embryo by inserting an adult cell nucleus into an ooctye.
