First, it represented the first mammal ever to be cloned from a somatic cell. It also sets a benchmark on which to evaluate other animal cloning experiments going forward. Secondly, her cloning was the start of controversy and panic in regards to animal cloning, as it raised the question of whether scientists would seek to clone humans too, and the…

who are or what was in us. It could be described as lost, death and blind sheep aimlessly moving about. But is that the case? Are we helpless to flesh and depraved as normal human beings?
