The Laboratory of Reproductive Technology in Cremona, Italy have cloned 14 piglets, which were born several weeks ago. This project was funded in part by the European Union to study stem cells in cloned animals.

The pig was cloned because of its similarity anotomically and physiologically to humans. Lead Researcher Prof Cesare Galli said the pigs would be used test animal to human organ transplants.
