How Cloning Works — and Why It’s So Controversial

Genetic Copying: Cloning creates an organism with identical DNA to another.
Dolly’s Legacy: The first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep, was born in 1996.
Cellular Reset: Scientists reprogram adult cells back into embryonic form.
Perfect Duplicate?: Clones share DNA but not memories or experiences.
Low Success Rate: Most cloning attempts fail before full development.
Ethical Storm: Critics question cloning’s moral and social implications.
Medical Promise: Cloning could produce tissues for organ replacement.
Agricultural Use: Farmers explore cloning for superior livestock genetics.
Genetic Identity: A clone’s DNA may match—but life’s experiences make them unique.
Future Unknown: Cloning remains science’s most debated frontier.
