Cloning
Introduction The possibility of human cloning, raised when Scottish scientists at Roslin Institute created the much-celebrated sheep "Dolly" (Nature 385, 810-13, 1997), aroused worldwide interest and concern because of its scientific and ethical implications. The feat, cited by Science magazine as the breakthrough of 1997, also generated uncertainty over the meaning of "cloning" --an umbrella term traditionally used by scientists to describe different processes for duplicating biological material. What is cloning? Are there different types

Cloning For the better part of scientific research history, animals have been used to facilitate the testing of new procedures, drugs, and quest for information. Now as we enter the 21st century humanity has created computer prediction models, tissue cloning, and great understanding of chemical reactions. However most of these new methods still are only sparingly used, despite their accuracy, and animal testing still remains the test method of choice. Imagine the world where everything

Dolly the sheep may have been the world's most famous clone, but she was not the first. Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Many animals - including frogs, mice, sheep, and cows - had been cloned before Dolly. Plants are often cloned - when you take a cutting, you are producing a clone. Human identical twins are also clones. So Dolly was not the first clone, and she looked like

Abstract Dolly the sheep was born in 1996, and from this point onward the cloning of a human for reproduction has been perceived as the eventuality (Choi, 2010). However Dolly the sheep and other cloned animals have suffered health problems (Talwar, 2004). Human cloning has proven to be even more difficult than the cloning of other mammals.

Cloning... Good or Bad?
Introduction The idea of cloning has been around for a while, but the thought of it becoming a reality is surprisingly new. Cloning has been all over the papers and the news lately, mostly caused by the death of possibly the world’s most famous animal behind Lassie, Ian Wilmut’s cloned sheep, Dolly. In 1880, a man named Walter Sutton made one of the most important discoveries towards cloning- he proved that chromosomes hold genetic information.
