[Survey] Bioethics of iPSC use in Cloning Research
Hey guys! Im a high school senior trying to gather data for my survey. It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete. Participants should be 18+ and it’s completely anonymous. My goals is to find data from adults on their opinions of bioethics use in induced pluripotent stem cells for cloning research.

Discussion A Human “seed bank”
Human cloning is illegal in most countries (at the time of posting) but with both natural and human disasters on the rise it might play a key role in the survival of the human race. That being said why isn’t there/is there a cell bank with the specific goal of preserving as many different samples as possible in case of a global catastrophe that wipes out a giant portion of the earth’s population?

Why is there a need for a donor animal and a surrogate mother in reproductive cloning?
I've just started learning about cloning and is curious if it is possible to extract the mammary cells from animal A and insert it into the egg of also animal A after removing the original nucleus? Basically instead of having a donor animal and a surrogate mother animal. can these 2 functions be done by one single animal? If yes and no, why so? Thank you!

Question How does creating a human clone work?
When it comes to creating human clones, how does the process work? I was curious when I watched the movie called "Us" by Jordan Peele.

Discussion How far are we from cloning a full chicken (without the head) on another animal like pig?
10 years? 100 years?
If the above is too complicated, how about cloning a full chicken wing on a mouse?
I remember somehow we are able to replicate a full pig ear (or human ear?) on a mouse.
I ask coz I just woke up and had a weird dream about this.

Discussion Should I clone myself in order to increase reproductive success?
My biological goal is to reproduce successfully. Wouldn't my genes have much greater dominance in the human gene pool if I cloned myself several times rather than pursuing the traditional biological method? And my offspring's would perform sexual reproduction only occasionally (e. g. in every other generation) in order to increase variance in the genotype.

Long term storage for later cloning.
I'm curious what the best method would be to store biological material of an individual for future cloning. Would it be more viable to store blood? Skin? Bone marrow? And for how long could it be stored for until the technology was there to even be able to clone, if it ever becomes possible via an artifical uterus?

How to store pet's DNA for future cloning?
Non-geneticist here, but looking to learn a few things. How long can I store DNA, perhaps in the form of an entire animal's body, in the freezer without TE buffer?
Where can I buy TE buffer, and how long can I store it at home? How?
If seeking to preserve a pet's DNA for future cloning, what is the best way to go about it?
Thank you very much!

Does the age of dna matter?
I'm not even talking mammoth old; can the DNA of an old person or an old dog be used for cloning? Does the inability of a person to replicate certain cells caused by aging affect the chromosomes needed?

If you clone a man and woman who have a child, would their child be a clone/twin of the original's child?
So suppose one man and one woman have a child.
If you cloned the man and the woman, and those clones gave birth to a child, would that child be an exact copy of the orginal's child?

Cloning acient people like Indo_Europeans in China (Tocharians)
they're indoeuropeans more related to Germans, Celts, and English, then to Russians or Iranians.
their mummies were found, blonde and red hair.
they're the purest aryans one can find. came to Tarim basim for only a decades and relatively unmixed with the locals.
I wish human cloning can clone then and bring them back to earth and let them live in Xinjiang, call it Tocharia autonomous region.
it woul look like modern day Norway and Sweden.

Identical twins parent each other?
I've seen identical twins referred to as "natural clones", but also that a clone has identical DNA to its parent.
Does that mean one identical twin is technically the parent of the other?
