In Vivo Cloning is a technique for creating genetically identical organisms within a living body, differing from In Vitro Cloning performed outside the organism. It involves transferring a donor cell nucleus into an enucleated egg, then implanting the embryo into a surrogate. This method has applications in medicine, agriculture, and research but faces ethical and biological hurdles.
