By @prolifeblogs on October 6, 2006 7:43 AM

UK scientists have applied for approval to clone using rabbit eggs. FRCBlog explains that these folks will use the basic cloning process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer."

The resulting embryos will be predominately human in genetic makeup, but with rabbit DNA from the outer shell of the egg.
