Cloning
Cloning is the process of producing genetically identical organisms or cells from a single ancestor. It occurs naturally in some plants and microorganisms, but can also be achieved artificially through techniques such as somatic cell nuclear transfer. Cloning is used in agriculture, medicine, and research, including the creation of genetically identical animals and therapeutic cloning for stem cell production. The first mammal cloned from an adult cell was Dolly the sheep in 1996. Cloning raises ethical, legal, and social concerns regarding biodiversity, animal welfare, and human cloning.
