In 2007, a cloning method was created at Foulum Research Centre at the University of Aarhus in Denmark. This method used pigs as part of a study on Alzheimer’s disease.
The cloning was a sucess but they weren't sure if the pig couls be able to have and piglets, or if anything physiological would be effected.
But everything was relieved when the first litter of health and normal piglets born to a transgenic clone were successfully delivered.
The success of the Danish research is that they are able to clone using a simple technique and using less money. Also it can be done in simpler laboratories. This in the future will make cloning more accessible.
