Transgenics and Vertebrate Cloning as Tools for Species Conservation

Article Abstract:

Research shows that while vertebrate cloning and super-sterile cultivars can, theoretically, pose little environmental risk, they can use up scarce conservation resources. Recommendation is to focus on established conservation methods that do not require cloning or transgenics.
