Chinese scientists announced in January that they'd cloned monkeys, thereby breaking the "technical barrier" for cloning humans




The scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Neuroscience cloned the monkeys using the same technique that produced Dolly the sheep two decades ago. But i t's still very difficult to clone primates: It took 127 eggs to produce two live macaques. (Scientists named the baby monkeys Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua.)

The researchers said they do not intend to clone people anytime soon. Instead, they want to use the scientific breakthrough to better study diseases and new drugs.

Researchers also figured out other advanced new ways to make babies. But a recent announcement about genetically edited babies drew questions and criticism from scientists around the world.


In October, scientists announced that they'd birthed healthy baby mice from two moms and no dad. And this month, doctors reported a woman who received a transplanted womb from a deceased organ donor gave birth to a baby girl.

But a more controversial announcement came from Chinese scientist He Jiankui, who claims to have successfully edited the genes in a pair of twins born in China in November. By using a cut-and-paste DNA-editing technique called CRISPR, he said, the babies were born immune to HIV.

Jiankui hasn't produced any evidence to back up his claims, though, and it's not clear why anyone would need to genetically edit babies to ward off HIV, since life-saving drugs already exist for the auto-immune disease.

Scientists also worry that if Jiankui's claims are true, the changes he made could have far-reaching consequences, since any genetic mutations the babies may have would get passed on to their offspring.

It is well.

Make e kuku end make we all free from all these nonsense.

This igbo people are too illiterate, if want to get cloned Buhari it will take another 75years, it can't be done now.

You dey mind those iberibes.

Your problem is understanding, they haven't said Buhari was cloned. They said Buhari look alike was brought from sudan (of which I don't care if it's true or not)..

Mikee7:
You see even if they say they got someone who looks like Buhari, it is impossible to get someone who possesses the same creases in the face, same hand shape, e.t.c they are just using stupidly drawn conclusions to mislead gullible people, now they are saying " Take off your cap, speak Fulani", how hard would it be to teach someone a few words in Fulani, and change the hair design.

In the end its all foolishness, imagine me saying Kanu is a clone and he died since the operation python, that they cloned him in Israel. He has a scar on his chest and 4 nipples, let him go shirtless so everyone can see it

The only reason I don't believe Buhari was cloned or replaced is that it is extremely difficult getting someone who attains the same dumbness as Buhari.

Nnamdi Kanu.is an erratic being . He said: dailypost.ng/2018/12/09/jubril-sudan-aisha-yusuf-exposed-cloned-buhari-nnamdi-kanu/

Earlier he also said :

These are obvious traits of a lunatic.


What should really up for debate is how such an unstable lunatic was able to command such blind and unquestionable followership. He must've worked at something all his followers have in common - undilluted hatred and crass gullibility for anything Buhari or Apc. Thats really the problem

The news has always been about cloning/imposter!! Both are so so impossible! We are talking about d number 1 citizen of a country. The world is involved and not just Nigerian citizens. A well schooled primary 6 student won't have to use Google to know it's a mare impossible task. Don't be left in the dark oga! Even if Buhari had a twin which we never knew about,At age 70+,the resemblance can never and I repeat never be thesame unlike youthful twins. This one no be rocket science sir/ma.

Igbos AND THEIR OVER SABI LAZY F.OUL AKA K.ANU go still come out dey talk nonsense mtcheeeew. Awon olo ..........s

Yet some primates think its possible to clone a 75-year old presidents within months. Some people are CURSED!

The funny thing is that we dont even know who this jubrin is. At least they should show us his picture before he became the impostor

Being dumb didn't make him a president. He was made the president by zombies and nothern beggers.
