Cloning involves a process called nuclear transfer, which was first explored by Spemann in the 1920's to conduct genetics research. All cloning experiments of adult mammals have used a variation of nuclear transfer. Nuclear transfer requires two cells, a donor cell and an oocyte, or egg cell. Research has proven that the egg cell works best if it is unfertilized, because it is more likely to accept the donor nucleus as its own. The egg cell must be enucleated. The nucleus is removed from the egg cell....
