Harvest: Collect eggs and cumulus cells from female donors. The normal function of cumulus cells is to nourish eggs in the ovaries, but, like other body cells, they also contain a person's complete genetic information.

Enucleate: Puncture the egg's outer membrane with a pipette and remove the nucleus and, thereby, its DNA.

Transfer: Inject a cumulus cell - which contains a full copy of the donor's DNA - into the enucleated egg.

The result: a renucleated egg.

Activate: Place the renucleated egg in a chemical solution. This tricks the egg into dividing as if it had been fertilized normally.

Incubate: The clone embryo begins mitosis. After three days, the embryo typically has four to eight cells, this is the morula stage. For in vitro fertilization treatments the embryo can be transferred to the female. After five days a healthy embryo has 16 cells and becomes a blastocyst. Transference also occurs at this time in IVF treatments.

This is also the point that "Snowflake Adoptions" occur.

This is also the stage of "Therapeutic Cloning."

Implant: The early-stage embryo is inserted in the uterus, where it attaches to the lining. It's a long shot, but if all goes well, the embryo will develop a placenta and eventually become a viable fetus.

This is Reproductive Cloning.
