for example, are members of a clone, originating from a single plant. A large number
of fruit and nut trees and ornamental plants are clones.
During the second half of the 20th century, techniques for cloning animals were
successfully demonstrated. Now it has become possible to make clones of sheep and
cows in a laboratory, using genes. British scientists are proud of their "sheep" the cre-
ated animal which is 50% sheep and 50% goat. Dolly, that's the name of the "sheep,"
is a genetic copy of its parents.
Is it possible to clone people? Genetic engineers say "yes," but on certain condi-
tions, of course.
