Default Cloning.

... In 1997 the Roslin institute, Edinburgh, announced that it had succeeded in cloning a sheep from a cell taken from the mammary gland of an adult ewe. The nucleus of the cell had been fused with an unfertilized egg cell from which the nucleic DNA had been removed. The resulting offspring was named Dolly.. (after dolly parton, the country and western singer.

Is this a good idea? What does the future hold? Is this a step forward or is it dark science that should be left alone?....
