Cloning Processes and Techniques

The video discusses the cloning process at Suam Labs in South Korea, focusing on the cloning of pet dogs and the potential to clone a mammoth. It explains the steps involved in cloning, including the use of skin cells, egg extraction, and embryo development. The video also highlights the ethical concerns surrounding cloning, particularly the implications of cloning extinct species like the mammoth.
