What is a clone?
A clone is a group of cells or organisms which are genetically identical and which have all been produced from the same original cell, that it has exactly the same genetic make up as another individual of the same species.
The Success of cloning an adult sheep is one of the most dramatic examples of a scientific discovery becoming a public issue.
The idea of being able to create a genetic replica, a carbon copy of another mammal took hold of the publics imagination when in February 1997 Doctor Ian Wilmut of The Roslin Institute, Edinburgh announced the birth of Dolly, the worlds first cloned sheep.
