On Thursday, Japanese scientists successfully cloned a bull of a brand of beef. How did they do it? 13 years ago, they froze the testicles of a bull named Yasufuku without any special kind of treatment. Once thawed out, they use the testicles as a specimen of the cloning. Once the bull was cloned, sparked the idea of cloned beef. Japanese scientists are now currently studying the safety of cloned beef, and might be allowed in the U.S and Europe.
