"During that two-week period, researchers would study the chemical signals that allow the adult DNA to be reprogrammed into an embryonic form. Some genes that are expressed in adult cells are turned off in the embryo, for example, and the teams want to work out how this switching works."
Let's use cow-human DNA instead
They aren't studying cow-human DNA. Cow DNA is in the mitochondria of the egg cell, and adult human DNA will be in the nucleus. I don't know enough to say if results will be valid, but they want to study the results of gene expression to reverse engineer adult DNA to a primitive, embryonic state.
I know zero about this
But the "Dolly-clone" sheep turned out badly
If government is not funding this I wonder who does or will
Rumors years ago about the Red Chinese and a chimp-human chimera
True or not there are dingbats out there they are determined to do more than "study"
Years ago who would have believed North Korea or Iran would have access and be screaming of using nukes on the USA
And both be run by nutcases
Ah progress
At our expense

Lets give the Muzzies another 1400 years to get to the level of chimps in a zoo
At least they only throw small stuff at the gawkers

The extension of life and cures for diseases is a nice thought
But reality hits us with far more serious problemos that few are able to acknowledge much less face
It can all be solved by Dr. Phil, Oprah, "The View", and Teddy-Jon chatting with the crazies
