Chinese scientists, who recently presented a project for the world's largest "clone factory", announced their readiness to clone people. The only obstacle to this, according to the Chinese, is the public reaction.
According to Agence France-Presse, the executive director of the future factory Xu Xiaochong spoke about large-scale plans in the field of cloning.
As we previously reported, China's Boyalife Group will build the world's largest cloning facility in collaboration with South Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Tianjin, North China.
It is planned that the enterprise will start operating within the next seven months. The production volume of cloned cows by 2020 will be one million per year.
In the future, the "clone factory" also intends to engage in the production of horses for racing and police dogs with specialized abilities (increased sense of smell and search).
Another area of interest for the enterprise is the cloning of primates for medical experiments. Therefore, the statement of the management of the future factory about its readiness to move from primates to humans became logical. “The technology is already there.
If it is officially allowed, I don’t think anyone can do it better than Boyalife,”Xu Xiaochong told reporters. He stressed that the company has not carried out any experiments in the field of human cloning.
