Cloned cow births calf as double amputee conquers Everest with arms
A cloned cow in Russia has successfully given birth to a healthy calf, marking a significant step in biotechnology. Meanwhile, a double amputee has made history by climbing Mount Everest using only his arms. Separately, Russian schools are set to introduce expanded AI education by 2027, covering advanced topics from primary levels upwards. Zvezdochka, a cloned cow, delivered her calf Darena without complications. The birth represents a breakthrough in reproductive cloning, as the calf continues to thrive under observation.
In a different achievement, Rustam Nabiev reached the summit of Mount Everest on 20 May 2023. The 34-year-old from Bashkortostan lost both legs in a 2015 barracks collapse in Omsk. His ascent relied entirely on upper-body strength, making him the first person to conquer the peak using only his arms. Education in Russia will also see major changes. From 2027, basic AI courses will become part of the national curriculum. Students will study big data, machine learning, and neural networks, alongside AI ethics. Advanced courses will include expert systems, natural language processing, and practical programming tasks. The new AI programme aims to equip students with technical skills from an early age. Schools will integrate hands-on projects to reinforce theoretical lessons.
Zvezdochka’s successful delivery and Darena’s healthy development confirm progress in cloning technology. Nabiev’s Everest climb demonstrates extraordinary resilience and physical capability. The 2027 AI curriculum will provide Russian students with structured training in emerging technologies, preparing them for future careers in the field.
