Embryo Transfer • This involves splitting apart cells from a developing animal embryo before they become specialised. • The identical embryos are then implanted into the wombs of host mothers • Advantages: • This technique could be used to make many copies of cows that have a high milk yield • It would produce a herd of cows much faster than if the original cow was used for breeding in the normal way • Concerns: • People do not want this procedure to be used in humans • It could be used to provide more embryos for scientific testing
