(This sometimes happens naturally inside a mother, and the result is identical twins.) In the process, though, the researchers had to strip away an outer coating, called the zona pellucida, that is essential to development. Then came the trickiest part of the procedure. Over the years, Hall had been working with a gel derived from seaweed that could serve as a substitute for the zona pellucida. When Hall put the artificial coating around the cloned embryos, they began...
