istically comparable to Dolly's cloning success then human cloning may be a failure. Moreover, several additional reasons could render unsuccessful humans cloning. Dolly who died at six years old just reached half of a normal sheep's life expectancy and was only one success out of 277 tries. Since most attempts to clone mammals failed it would be almost condemnable to clone human beings. Another problem emerging from human cloning is the possible illegal traffic of fetuses. Besides, research involving human fetuses has been a subject of intense national debate and disagreement for over two decades (Institute of Medicine, 1994). In addition, since cloning by definition creates invariable offspring's the public opinion has feared the loss of our genetic variation.
