ISFAHAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian scientists have cloned a goat and plan future experiments they hope will lead to a treatment for stroke patients, the leader of the research said Wednesday. The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the city of Isfahan in central Iran, said Dr. Mohammed Hossein Nasr e Isfahani, head of the Royan Research Institute. “With the birth of Hana, Iran is among five countries in the world cloning a baby goat,” said Isfahani, an embryologist.
