Advanced Cell Technology in November 1998 by using SCNT created the first hybrid human clone. A nucleus was taken from a man's leg cell and was introduced into a cow's egg while its nucleus was removed. The hybrid cell was cultured, and developed into an embryo and after 12 days, the embryo was destroyed.
