China's Cloning Crusade: Technology for Human Replication 'Already There'
"The technology is already there," said Xu Xiaochun, the 44-year-old Chairman of the Boyalife group, which is building the $31 million cloning factory. "If this is allowed, I don't think there are other companies better than Boyalife that make better technology." The company intends to begin operations in the first half of 2016 in Tianjin, a city some 100 miles southeast of Beijing. Though the principal goal of the 150,000-square-foot facility will be cloning cattle, company executives aren't closing the door to other species, including humans. "Unfortunately, currently, the only way to have a child is to have it be half its mum, half its dad," said Xu. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-12-02 |
