DESCRIPTION:_Nuclear transfer to amphibian eggs was used some fifty years 
 ago to demonstrate that  almost all cells of the body have the same set of
  genes.  This led\, over the next few decades\, to an increasing interest 
 in the prospects of using nuclear reprogramming for drug testing and event
 ual cell replacement therapy. This talk will trace the history of these ev
 olving ideas and prospects._
