These tissues from the clone were then put back into the original Cow A. Lo and behold, it worked. These cells from the clone were...
...amazing success. This is precisely what the advocates of research cloning are promising. Clone, grow it and then use the cloned tissue to create near identical replacement parts for the original animal and thus presumably put us on the road to curing such human scourges as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, spinal-cord injuries and the like...
