Cloning
Scientists cloned "Dolly the sheep" in 1997, creating a media storm about the possibility of human cloning--and its ethical implications. However, one should understand the there are distinct types of cloning before taking an ethical or political stance. There are three types of cloning technologies that can be used for purposes besides producing genetic copies of organisms: recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. We feature articles from publications and scientific journals that discuss the ramifications of cloning.
