CLONING

 

 

 

 

This appears to be a picture of an ordinary sheep. But this sheep happens to be Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned using an adult cell. Since her debut to the world in 1997, she has continued to dominate much ethical and scientific debate, even till today. The successful cloning of Dolly has huge implications for society. One is the possibility of human cloning. While human clones have already been on Earth since the history of mankind in the natural form of the identical twin, what seems the most frightening to people is the potential to produce a clone of a person several years, even several generations apart.
