Intensive stud 2 Sound far-fetched? That day may come. Scientists in Scotland recently announced that, for the first time, they have cloned an exact copy of an adult sheep. The cloned baby lamb, named Dolly, has the exact same genes as the adult sheep from which she was cloned. In other words, the two are identical twins; only dolly is six years younger. The goal of embryologist lan wilmut, the lead scientist, is to develop a way to raise identical sheep that produce medications for humans

The cloned baby lamb, named Dolly, has the exact same genes as the adult sheep from which she was cloned. In other words, the two are identical twins; only Dolly is six years younger.

Intensive stud 3 A week after wilmut's announcement, scientists in Oregon disclosed that they had used a different technique to clone monkeys, close cousins of humans. Faster than you can say Frankenstein, these accomplishments triggered a worldwide debate: Should scientists be allowed to clone animals? Will humans be next? Is cloning unethical and dangerous--or is it a valuable research tool?

Intensive stud 4 All attempts at cloning were largely unsuccessful until 1984. Thats when a scientist in Denmark separated cells from a sheeps embryo. An embryo is an early stage of development in which cells are busy dividing and "transforming" inte specialized cells like skin, eyes, or muscle cells 5 Unlike a skin cell, an embryo is on its way to becoming a complete living thing. The Danish scientist combined an embryo cell with an egg cell from another sheep. He implanted the fused cell -- then a newly growing embryo - into a grown female sheep. To much surprise, the embryo grew into a baby lamb. Since then, other scientists have used embryos to clone cattle, pigs, goats, rabbits-- and, now, even monkeys
