Can scientists create a genetic duplicate of a human with the exact same DNA as another human? In our world, there are many strange things, but none that are exactly the same. Although, twins look alike, they differ in their thoughts, personality, fingerprints, and DNA. However, scientists are now able to make two human beings the same down to the genetic structure by cloning. In cloning "Technicians remove the genetic material from an egg cell and replace it with DNA from a donor, then grow the embryo in a petri dish until it's ready to be implanted, by the same process routinely used in fertilization clinics."" (Adler 102) In Scotland 1997, the news of the first mammal cloned, Dolly the sheep, shocked the world.
