# Biological Cloning from Preserved Cells
**Entity class:** Biotechnology possibility
**Domain:** Biotechnology / Reproductive biology
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
Biological cloning from preserved cells would use retained nuclear material to create a genetically related organism through somatic-cell nuclear transfer or a successor technique.
## Mechanism and significance
Genetic continuity would not reproduce the original person's development, memories, relationships, or lived identity.
