Nowadays scientists can make copies of plants,
animals, and even human beings. We call this “cloning”. There is nothing new
about cloning at all. Ancient Greeks cloned plants over 4000 years ago and the
first cloned frog appeared in 1968. Twenty-nine years later, in 1997, Dr. Ian
Wilmut and other follow researchers from Edinburgh University, Scotland, managed
to clone an adult sheep from a single cell to produce a lamb (Dolly) with the
same genes as its mother. Some people are worried because scientists
started to think about cloning human beings.
