This is Belle, and my name is Kelly, and I cloned my cat.

這是貝兒，我叫凱莉，我克隆了我的貓。

A lot of people think that I wanted to bring my cat back from the dead, but that really was not the case at all.

很多人以為我想讓我的貓起死回生，但事實並非如此。

I just wanted to carry on a piece of my cat.

我只是想讓我的貓繼續活下去。

Their temperament is the exact same, so they're both bold, sassy, bossy, cats with attitude.

它們的性情完全相同，都是大膽、時髦、專橫、有態度的貓。

I'm a broke dog trainer, so I took out a loan to clone Belle.

我是個破產的訓狗師，所以我貸款克隆了貝兒。

The first step of cloning is enucleation, so what you would do is you would take eggs from some females, and you would denucleate the eggs, turn them into a blank egg.

克隆的第一步是去核，所以你要做的就是從一些雌性卵子中提取卵子，然後將卵子去核，變成一個空白的卵子。

The second step in cloning is reconstruction.

You would take one cell from the animal you want to clone and insert it right into that blank egg.

你可以從想要克隆的動物身上提取一個細胞，然後直接插入空白的卵子中。

That kind of mimics what a egg and sperm would do, that day zero embryo.

這有點像卵子和精子的作用，也就是零天胚胎的作用。

Once that's done, the eggs get transferred into our surrogates, and the surrogate will have the babies naturally.

一旦完成，卵子就會被移植到我們的代孕者體內，代孕者就會自然分娩。

Clones are very similar to the original animal, but there are some epigenetic factors, for example, environment, what they eat, what experiences this new clone is going to have that could make it a little different than the original.

克隆動物與原始動物非常相似，但也有一些表觀遺傳因素，例如環境、吃什麼、新克隆動物會有什麼經歷，這些都可能使它與原始動物有些不同。

I was lucky enough to be able to adopt two puppies from a litter of three, because our client only wanted one of the puppies.

我很幸運能從一窩三隻小狗中領養兩隻，因為我們的客戶只想要其中一隻。

I can't tell them apart, but definitely there's one that's become kind of the alpha, and the other one's kind of the baby.

我分不清他們，但肯定有一個已經成了首領，而另一個則是嬰兒。

 If you've preserved these genetics, and you can clone some of these species back, you can actually help a species that could be on the brink of extinction, and hopefully stop that particular species from disappearing.

如果你保存了這些基因，並能將其中一些物種克隆回來，你就能真正幫助一個可能瀕臨滅絕的物種，並有望阻止該物種的消失。
