Some years back I did not know about the cloning but now I want to tell you a little about cloning' CLONING IS THE PROCESS OF CREATING GENETICALLY IDENTICAL COPIES OF BIOLOGICAL BIOLOGICAL MATTER WHICH MAY INCLUDE GENES , CELLS, TISSUES OR ENTIRE ORGANISM.
We heard of cloning when Dolly, the sheep, showed up on the scene in 1997. Artificial cloning technologies have been around us for much longer than Dolly.
Clones can also happen naturally- identical twins are just one of many examples or they can be made in the lab.
There are two ways to make an exact genetic copy of an organism in a lab , artificial embryo
twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer.
artificial embryo twinning is carried out in a petri dish instead of inside the mother.
somatic cell is any cell in the body other than sperm and egg. In mammals every somatic cell has two complete sets of chromosomes. The nucleus from the somatic cell is transferred to the egg cell after some time it behaves just like a freshly fertilized egg, it develops into an embryo.
Scientists have success rate only three percent in cloning. They may be having certain problems as developmental delays. The clones may look 'normal' from out side only, they may have lung problems, heart defects, neurological disorders and malfunctioning of immune system.
In my opinion the society is so selfish they will like to take the undue advantage of it.
It really looks very interesting but not beneficial to the society of today.Cloning is good up to the animals not in human beings.Every thing which comes new before our eyes looks charming but it is not compulsory that it may be beneficial.

Thank you very much for the best comment.
Everybody is a student who is eager to know something new. I do not have so much of knowledge but I am always a student who wants to learn something new.
