The early embryo is totipotent up until the Morula stage.
It is possible to create multiple individuals of identical genome by splitting blastomeres.
- This happens naturally when identical twinning occurs.
Embryos require surrogate zonae, but some can progress on artificial coatings.
Success is not high.
