... transfer involves the use of two cells. The receiving cell is normally an unfertilised egg taken from an animal soon after ovulation. The donor cell is the one to be copied. A scientist removes the chromosomes, a chain-like substance that incorporates the cell's DNA, from the recipient egg cell. The donor cell is then combined with the recipient egg.

... very multilayered in the promises and threats that are suggested by scientists (Kolata 8). In the basic definition, cloning is accomplished by removing the nucleus of a mature, unfertilized egg and replacing it with a specialized cell from an adult organism. The nucleus taken contains most of the hereditary material from the original human source, and it develops from the human source it was taken ... because it opens new doors for child bearing in that particular community.
