Question

The recent death of the world's most famous sheep－Dolly the clone—has not dampened the enthusiasm (热情)of Chinese scientists, who are working hard to make more breakthroughs in clone technology.

“It is hard to say whether Dolly died at a relatively young age or died from defects (缺陷) in reproduction,” Du Miao, a researcher with the Biology and Growth Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China Daily in Beijing yesterday. “But Dolly's case reminds us that both Chinese and foreign scientists should put more efforts into improving clone technology as well as disease treatment techniques in the field of cloning animals.” He said his institute, in co-operation (合作) with Yangzhou University in Eastern China's Jiangsu Province, had cloned more than 10 sheep since 1999 and the oldest is nearly five. They are all still alive.

Li Ning, deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Biological Technology, who is also a professor with the Beijing-based China Agriculture University, said, “Clone technology is actually progressing well. Dolly is the first cloned sheep after all. Like driving cars, new drivers meet with accidents more easily, but the more you drive, the easier and safer you feel. In the future, the death rate of cloned animals will be reduced with technological developments.”

“Official reports show seven locally cloned sheep are still alive. Clone technology in China is gradually approaching (接近)a level of commercialization (商业化),” Li added. But Wang Yu, deputy director of the Biological Technology Centre under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said the commercialization of clone technology depends on market demand.
