Iranian scientists clone goat

[Abi]

Iranian scientists have cloned a goat and plan future experiments they hope will lead to a treatment for stroke patients.

The female goat, named Hana, was born early on Wednesday in the city of Isfahan in central Iran.

"With the birth of Hana, Iran is among five countries in the world cloning a baby goat," said Isfahani, an embryologist. Mohammed Hossein Nasr e-Isfahani, head of the Royan Research Institute, said.

He said his institute's main aim in cloning the goat is to produce medicine to be used to treat people who have had strokes.

In 2006 Iran became the first country in the Middle East to announce it had cloned a sheep.

The effort is part of Iran's quest to become a regional powerhouse in advanced science and technology by 2025. In particular, Iran is striving for achievements in medicine and in aerospace and nuclear technology.

Congrats to the Iranian scientists for their achievement.

I think all nations, irrespective of their current political stance with Iran, should congratulate the scientists. Its always good for humanity as a whole when there are advances in medical science.

abi you can discuss all iranian non defence achievements in one thread, opening separate thread does not help brother, defence achievements can also be put in one thread

like iranian cloning, electrical car etc

its annoying when iranian thread pop up after every five minutes or so

boy i m just asking you to put all these in one thread dont you understand, as are doing indians, chinese, bangladeshis etc, what difference does it make and you are wasting your hard work by creating separate threads, its getting annoying

maybe if an iranian defence thread grows, mods will make a separate sub forum for iran and maybe after gaining some popularity iranians will start coming here, if you keep posting separate threads your threads will keep dislocating here and there. its a saying "one stick can easily be broken but if many sticks are tied together they become very strond and cant be broken easily.
