youve probably heard about cloning. Cloning is the
most controversial issue today. Quite simply put,
cloning is duplicating or making a copy of
something, usually a cell or DNA. Scientists for a
while now successfully have been testing it out on
animals. A clone, however, is only genetically
identical to its donor, not physically or
