A CLONED RHESUS MONKEY IS STILL ALIVE AFTER 2 YEARS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A team of researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences claims one of its cloned monkeys has lived more than two years, the longest any cloned rhesus macaque has survived yet. It was developed using a new method called the trophoblast replacement method. The new technique could have implications for conventional IVF. There is still a lot of trial and error involved - the researchers achieved just one live fetus for every 113 activated embryos, and of all 11 embryos transferred to a womb, only one produced a live fetus.
