Hi,
The egg alone is no problem, I just was wanting to know if you put some of
your DNA with and egg from a woman to make cells in a petra dish and you let
it grow would it at sometime have the ability of becoming a little person?
That is how they got Dolly the sheep and the little kitten. I was not trying
to tell people how to believe or put my God into it for I do understand many
on the list have different beliefs and I respect that. I just saw on TV
where they took DNA from a man whom had a back injury and wanted to be able
to walk again so a lab not supported by the government did the experiment.
When asked if they took the cells that had formed with the egg and the man's
DNA where implanted into an uterus would it have the potential of becoming a
baby? The answer was yes. If that is the same way they do thing to get the
stem cells from us to help us then I just I have a hard time with it that is
all. Janice
