Understanding of Clone
Definition of Cloning
examples of natural cloning are given
First cloned mammal
Cloning is the process of making an exact copy of a plant or animal anddeveloping it either naturally or artificially.
Gardeners have been using a form of cloning when they take a cutting from a plant and place it in a suitable medium. Another example of natural cloning is identicaltwins, who are produced from the same egg.
Dolly the sheep (1996, Scotland)

Activity3: List the potential benefits of, and moral concerns about cloning primates.
Potential benefits
Moral concerns
will lead to cures forvarious diseases
has refreshed the technicalpossibility of cloning of other species
offer clues on how to prevent the aging process
could help save research time, reduce the number of animals required for tesing, produce more acurate results,and lead to more effective treatments
be treated as objects or as individuals with their own identity
may be viewed as mere copies of originals thus being seen as inferion
some organisations may abuse the technology for unethical purposes

Activity: Read the last paragraph and answer the questions.
What does Einstein's quote mean?
Einstein’s quote means that science itself cannot be judged as good or bad, because it can only function when it is used by humans. He also indicates that humans need to be careful with the information they learn through science and to remember to use science for good.
