Human somatic cell nuclear transfer and reproductive cloning: an Ethics Committee opinion.
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This document presents arguments that conclude that it is unethical to use somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) for infertility treatment due to concerns about safety; the unknown impact of SCNT on children, families, and society; and the availability of other ethically acceptable means of assisted reproduction. This document replaces the ASRM Ethics Committee report titled, "Human somatic cell nuclear transfer and cloning," last published in Fertil Steril 2012;98:804-7.

I-12: Nuclear Reprogramming in Bovin Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT or cloning) returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent status; a process termed nuclear reprogramming. Reproductive cloning has potential applications in both agriculture and biomedicine, but is limited by low efficiency. To understand the deficiencies of nuclear reprogramming, our research has focused on both candidate genes and global gene expression pat...
متن کاملP-86: Production of Cloned Mice by Somaticm Cell Nuclear Transfer
Background: For several years, mammalian cloning by splitting an early embryo or nuclear transfer into oocytes method has been successfully performed. Cloning is now also possible using adult somatic cells. Although it has now been 15 years since the first cloned mammals were generated from somatic cells using nuclear transfer (NT), the success rate for producing live offspring by cloning is lo...

Purpose: Despite remarkable progresses have been achieved in the field of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), there is little information regarding the effect of donor cell type on the efficiency mammalian somatic cell cloning in vitro. This study compared in vitro developmental competency of sheep enucleated oocytes reconstructed with either fibroblast or cumulus cells. Material and methods...
متن کاملHuman somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning).
Within 2 years of the announced birth in 1997 of Dolly, the lamb cloned from the mam-mary cells of an adult ewe, research groups announced that they had cloned mice and calves by using differentiated somatic cells (1– 3). In the cloning technique used to produce Dolly, the nucleus of a somatic cell of the ewe was transferred to a sheep oocyte from which the nucleus had been removed, and the cel...
