The first animal born after the DNA of one species was put into the egg of
another has died after just 48 hours. But the scientists at Advanced Cell
Technology in Massachusetts who created the clone remain optimistic that the
process can bring extinct animals back from the dead. Noah was the clone of a
gaur, a rare wild ox. It was created by fusing a dead gaur鈥檚 skin cells with cow
eggs stripped of their nuclei. ACT says Noah died of a common bacterial
infection, clostridial enteritis. 鈥淚鈥檓 very disappointed by his death,鈥� says
Philip Damiani, Noah鈥檚 co-creator. 鈥淏ut as a scientist, I鈥檓 extremely pleased
that we had a live birth.鈥�
