Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning ... is accomplished by taking two cells – an egg cell from a female and a somatic cell from the person or animal to be cloned. The nucleus of the egg cell is removed and discarded. The nucleus from the somatic cell is then transferred to the [enucleated] egg cell. The egg cell and its new nucleus are fused together with the expectation it will grow. If cell division and growth is accomplished, the clone’s life has begun. 3, record 1, English, - somatic%20cell%20nuclear%20transfer%20cloning

Existen dos modalidades de clonación [...] la clonación reproductiva y la terapéutica o celular. La clonación reproductiva está dirigida al nacimiento de individuos completos genéticamente idénticos. Implica la implantación del embrión clonado en el útero de una madre, el desarrollo del mismo y el nacimiento de un individuo. La clonación terapéutica no llega tan lejos. Está limitada a la fase celular y tiene como principal finalidad la obtención de las denominadas células madres. 2, record 2, Spanish, - clonaci%C3%B3n%20de%20embriones

La clonación con fines reproductivos puede tener aplicaciones mediatas como creación de seres humanos con diferentes fines: obtención de descendencia en parejas estériles, realizar fotocopias genéticas de seres queridos desaparecidos y crear personas útiles a la sociedad por su capacidad intelectual o moral, seres humanos de gran resistencia física para trabajos de baja intelectualidad, entre otras. 2, record 3, Spanish, - clonaci%C3%B3n%20humana%20con%20fines%20reproductivos
