nuclear transfer (SCNT), replaces the DNA in an egg cell's nucleus
with the genetic material from the nucleus of a skin cell, then tricks the egg cell to start dividing as if it had been fertilized
with sperm.

with a deep abiding faith that a fertilized egg is a person, and a blastocyst created by
nuclear transfer is a person, and the destruction of that blastocyst to harvest stem cells is murder?

nuclear transfer, to derive stem cells from cloned human embryos, including from a baby
with an inherited disorder.
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.
Dolly was created using
nuclear transfer, a technique in which an intact donor cell is fused
with an egg whose nucleus had been removed.
Dolly was cloned using the technique of «somatic cell
nuclear transfer,» when a nucleus from an adult cell is
transferred into an unfertilized egg that has had its nucleus removed, and is then shocked
with electricity to start cell growth.
A second transformative design innovation leverages gravity combined
with conduction heat
transfer ̶ two unfailingly reliable phenomena in nature — to facilitate all necessary heat removal from the plant's
nuclear fuel, and subsequent expulsion of heat to the atmosphere.

with GEH as they progress
with their proposals to deploy PRISM in the U.K.» The
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has contracted GEH to carry out feasibility work in a number of key areas including the proposed commercial structure, disposability of the fuel, risk
transfer model, costs and licensability of GEH's PRISM offering

The second method used somatic cell
nuclear transfer (cloning techniques) to exchange all the mtDNA from the patient's cells
with normal mtDNA from an egg donor in order to derive embryonic stem cells that are patient - specific
with respect to
nuclear DNA, but «rescued»
with respect to mtDNA.

nuclear transfer — the same technique they've used successfully

nuclear transfer into oocytes or by fusion
with embryonic stem (ES) cells.
