Animal+Cloning

Animal CloningAnimal Cloning Animal Cloning Animal cloning is the process of artificially creating an exact duplicate of animal through science. The first successful animal cloning was Dolly the Sheep. This cloned sheep lived and even reproduced itself. Because of this break through with cloning, it is now possible for scientist to create clones from non-embryonic cells. Scientists use animal cloning mainly for reproductive and healing purposes; for example, if an animal has a damaged or sickly organ. Many people are very uncomfortable with the fact that scientists are cloning animals; they believe that cloning is against nature. But many people are not aware of the many details of animal cloning. In the process of cloning animals, there are some cases when a defect occurs; for example, an animal might be born with two heads. Some of these defects may cause the animal to die. Positively, if you are cloning from an adult animal, you will know exactly what the clone is going to look like. For this reason, scientists would like to clone animals that are endangered from being extinct.
