Cloning is the process of replication of organism in order to reproduce favorable or remove undesirable traits from the product (clone). In last half century, there has been rapid advancement in scientific technology, which has resulted in discoveries such as of DNA structure, the stem cell, and...

The world of science and the public at large were both shocked and fascinated by the announcement in the journal Nature by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues that they had successfully cloned a sheep from a single cell of an adult sheep (Wilmut 2003). Scientists were in part surprised, because many had b...

Cloning humans is banned in 23 countries. But scientists and researchers are pushing the technology because they believe that human cloning can bring the future with many benefits. In the United States, 4 states have banned human cloning and the law doesn't allow any government funding for...

On February 23, 1997, news traveled around the world that scientists in Scotland had successfully cloned an adult sheep. What had previously seemed impossible, even to many scientists, was suddenly a reality. The sheep, named Dolly, had only one biological parent and possessed a genetic code identic...

In 1997 the world was introduced to a six month old lamb named Dolly, the first successfully cloned mammal, putting everyone around the world into shock. The time has come where our technology in science and medicine have advanced so much that human cloning has left science fiction and has now pr...
