cloning is do able and easy, and i do not doubt that the guy has implanted the embryo, but last time this occurred what happened, nothing, it disappeared from the news and they said it was a hoax.
how to clone:
1. get a cell from the original animal (in this case a human)
2. get an egg cell from a female of the species 3. take nuclear material out of egg cell and discard 4. take the nucleus from the body cell and put it in the egg cell
5. put it in the woman
it's not a hard thing to do and any invitro specialist can do it
the theory is that the telomeres of the dna will be repaired and the cell will grow as if it were a new organism
BUT...
the dna may remain 'sensitised' and hence the organism will be 'older' than it should be and will not live as long as a normal organism (eg: dolly the sheep)
and all mutations in the dna of the cell used will be retained in the new organism, and therefore will appear more prominently than they do in the original organism.
so i guess i'm saying yay science guy, if he's lucky and it works properly, but boo science guy if he fucked it up and the kid comes out retarded or something.
