"Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.[2][3] She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics near Edinburgh in Scotland, the United Kingdom. The funding for Dolly's cloning was provided by PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture.[4] She was born on 5 July 1996 and she lived until the age of six, at which point she died from a progressive lung disease.[1] She has been called "the world's most famous sheep" by sources including BBC News and Scientific American.[5][6] The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a mammary gland, and the production of a healthy clone therefore proved that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate a whole individual"
Scientists have cloned a number of mammals. Personally I think this is a very touchy/taboo subject. As many religious groups believe that it goes against god. Ipersonally think that this could be great for reviving extinct animals. Such as the tasmanian tiger for example.
But that being said, Obviously something like this could be abused. Such as creating a "perfect" Humanoids. I would classify them as humanoid as they were not naturally born. So really they are artificial. But on the same page they aren't.
It has been said that just because they have cloned dolly, (& a number of other mammals) That it wouldn't necessarily mean that they could clone an actual human. But really. What is the difference between one mammal and another? Like i said. They have cloned horses. Bulls. Ect.

So what are your thoughts on cloning?
It was acceptable in Pokemon Gold & Silver. How about real life?

We could start cloning people with the greatest minds or bodies to create a race of total perfection. One could clone a whole team of Michael Jordan's.... A large majority of the United States believed that the cloning and genetic modifications of animals should be closely regulated by the government. Human cloning seemed out of the question, as most people felt that it was wrong, as we would be "playing God."
