The author’s attitude towards cloning is ----.
In February 1997, newspapers around the world
reported the birth in Edinburgh, Scotland, of a lamb
named Dolly. Such an event would not normally be
considered newsworthy. Even the fact that Dolly had an
identical twin would not typically have added much to
the story. But the event was truly a landmark in science,
because this lamb was not born in the usual way.
Rather than being the product of a sperm and an egg
from two parents, Dolly came into existence when the
genetic material from an adult sheep was transplanted
into a cell that developed into an exact copy of that
sheep. For the moment, most scientists are talking
about relatively non-controversial applications of the
technology – such as cloning cows that are especially
good milk producers. It is undoubtedly just a matter of
time before the technology is in place to create copies of
other humans from the DNA in the nucleus of a single
cell. Consider the potential benefits to society. We could
make perfect, but younger, copies of brilliant scientists,
surgeons, or even chefs. Infertile couples could be
helped to bear children, and genetic diseases could
perhaps be cured or prevented by manipulating the
structure of the genes causing them. The extraordinary
birth of a lamb named Dolly serves as an appropriate
entry into the relatively new and fascinating world of
human genetics
