As of right now, scientists have no intention of trying to clone people and they believe their results should spark a wider discussion about the laws and regulations the world needs to regulate cloning.
In 1996 the first clone of an adult mammal, a female sheep named Dolly, was born. Dolly was created using SCNT, a process that later became a cornerstone of stem cell research.
The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone. Researchers have cloned a wide range of biological materials, including genes, cells, tissues and even entire organisms, such as a sheep.
