World's first cloned Artic wolf is born in China: Pup named Maya is created using a donor cell from another of its kind and an embryo that was implanted in the womb of a beagle

世界首例克隆北极狼在中国诞生：这只名为玛雅的幼崽是用同类的供体细胞和植入比格犬子宫的胚胎培育出来的

An Arctic wolf has been cloned for the first time by a Beiing-based gene firm that took a donor cell from a wild female Arctic wolf and combined it with an embryo that was grown inside a beagle, which shares genetic ancestry with ancient wolves to ensure the process was successful.

北京一家基因公司首次克隆出一只北极狼，该公司从一只野生雌性北极狼身上提取了供体细胞，并将其与一只比格犬体内生长的胚胎相结合，以确保克隆过程成功。比格犬与北极狼有相同的基因祖先。

The pup, named Maya, was born in June but Singogen Biotechnology waited to announce her birth until she was 100 days old with the hopes the clone would be in good health, and it is.

这只名叫玛雅的幼崽于今年6月出生，但希诺谷生物技术公司等到她满100天后才宣布她的出生，希望克隆北极狼身体健康，事实也的确如此。

Arctic wolves are not endangered like other breeds, but Singogen hopes to use this process to save other species that are at risk of extinction.

北极狼不像其他品种那样濒临灭绝，但希诺谷希望利用这一技术来拯救其他濒临灭绝的物种。

Although this is a scientific breakthrough, the cloning of animals is met with controversy as activists say the animals involved suffer in surgeries necessary to obtain donor cells and transfer embryos.

尽管这是一项科学突破，但动物克隆还是受到了争议，活动人士表示，克隆动物要接受获得供体细胞和移植胚胎所必需的手术。

Another argument against the process that some see producing animals by cloning is whether this technique is violating some moral prohibition, such as people are 'playing God' by producing embryos without using fertilization.

另一种反对克隆动物的观点是，这种技术是否违反了一些道德禁令，比如人们在没有使用受精的情况下生产胚胎是在“扮演上帝”的角色。

The other side of the argument believes that cloning animals is a way to save species on the brink of extinction.

争论的另一方认为克隆动物是一种拯救濒临灭绝物种的方法。

Regardless, Maya is deemed a milestone for the application of cloning technology.

无论如何，玛雅被认为是克隆技术应用的一个里程碑。

As of right now, Maya is said to be in good health and is exhibiting behavior of a traditional Arctic wolf pup.

截至目前，玛雅身体状况良好，表现出传统北极狼幼崽的行为。

Spiritedrogue, London, United Kingdom

I have an uneasy feeling that China will not stop there..they don't seem to have any ethics at all when it comes to animals. Nothing good comes out of China and I doubt that will change any time soon.

我有一种不安的感觉，中国不会就此止步，在动物问题上，他们似乎没有道德可言。

他们没有出什么好东西，我怀疑这种情况短期内不会改变。
