eady has an identical DNA sequence. The most extreme form of discrimination is genocide -seeking to eliminate that, which is different. In case, the genocide is pre-emptive -clones are so scary that we must eliminate them before they exist with a ban on their creation."
             One of the things that truly scare us about cloning is that it might not always turn out right. It took scientist many tries before they eventually cloned an animal. Human cloning is supposedly harder to accomplish than animal cloning. Because of this, the success rate could be a lot lower, and we don't want to have those failures happen!
             What is a clone? Simply stated, a clone is a duplicate-- much like a photocopy is a duplicate, or copy, of a document. A good example of such "copies" that occur in nature are identical twins, which are duplicates of each other. In many ways, both our understanding and our opinions of genetics in general and cloning, in particular, comes from various forms of mass media, especially from the movies. Although genetic cloning is indeed a reality, it sometimes becomes difficult to differentiate the factual aspects of modern cloning from the creative fantasy of a Hollywood movie. The successful cloning of a whole mammal (a sheep and then a rhesus monkey) has changed our world forever. Although many people thought it would happen sometime in the future, its actual occurrence has sent shock waves reverberating throughout the world. Human cloning fiction has suddenly become a potential science fact. This chilling prospect prompted President Clinton to announce a ban on using federal funds for human cloning research and to appeal for a voluntary delay on any private research on human cloning. As President Clinton said, "Any discovery that touches upon human creation is not simply a matter of scientific inquiry. It is a matter of morality and spirituality as well. "It is the looming specter of human cloning that arouses overwhelming public...
