Cloning

Film Summary

Mired in ethical debate, human clones could help infertile couples to have children and be used to create organ banks, helping to cure disease. Is this scientific progress or man playing God?

Key Facts

In 1996, scientists created the first mammal clone - Dolly the sheep.
The potential for human cloning is a much debated issue.
Reproductive cloning could offer infertile couples the chance of a child - a genetically identical clone of a parent.
Medical cloning could provide the cure for genetic conditions such as diabetes, but would sacrifice human embryos in the process.
