Cloning makes use of technology to create an exact genetic copy of a living organism. In cloning, both sets of genes come from one parent. The resulting offspring born from cloning technology has the same genetic makeup as its original parent and is almost exactly the parent's twin, but of a different generation.

|
| Description: |
Cloning is the use of technology to make an exact genetic copy of a living organism. Reproductive cloning of human beings is largely condemned by the international scientific community. Australian legislation prohibits all cloning of humans. Therapeutic cloning, which could produce embryonic stem cells for therapeutic purposes, has potential that is supported by most of the scientific community.
