10. Read the text and find words that mean: How to clone a human If it works in humans as it has in other mammals, cloning will be technically possible, but also terribly inefficient and risky. According to experts, producing a single viable clone will require scores of volunteers to donate eggs and carry embryos most of which will have major abnormalities and never come to term. The clones that do survive could suffer more subtle problems that might show up well after birth. Heres how it might be done: 1. Doctors harvest up to 15 eggs each from up to 40 donors who have been injected with fertility drugs. About 400 eggs are produced. 2. Cells are taken from the cloning candidate. 3. The nucleus of each egg is sucked out with a fine needle. Then the DNA free eggs and the donor cells are placed next to one another and zapped with electricity, which causes them to fuse. Some of the rebuilt eggs divide to form embryos. 4. Because embryos often fall to implant , each surrogate mother gets several at once. Even so, up to 50 surrogates could be needed ( not necessary all at once ) to ensure nine to 10 pregnancies. Of these, most will terminate early by miscarriage or by abortion when abnormalities are found. The single viable baby may be normal. Or maybe not ( Taken from Time , February 19, 2001) 1. __________________________ Propagate or reproduce (an identical individual) from a given original; to replicate (an existing individual) 2. __________________________ Members of a class whose females secrete milk for nourishing their young. 3. _________________________ Dangerous, hazardous. 4. __________________________ People having great knowledge, experience or skill in a certain field. 5. __________________________ Capable of succeeding. 6. __________________________ ovum
