-Ovocytes: Immature ovules
→ Summary:
To clone the
macaques they need a colony of about 200 females, extracting the oocytes. In
China it is easier to have larger colonies than in Europe, but even then there
is no clear justification for the cloning of monkeys. There is also talk of the
possible cloning of humans in the future. If you practice a lot you could get
to do it but it would not make sense to make copies of yourself that you really
are not because you would not have the same personality, setting, diet, etc. It
would not make logical sense.

opinion:
I see well
the cloning of animals which their organs can serve us to be transplanted to
humans as is the case of pigs in a few years, but the cloning of animals
without explanation should not be done and more when large colonies are needed
to clone.
