Tony:These days, the word “clone” has appeared very often in the newspapers.Do you know its meaning?
Lana:I read a report.It said that Dr.Ian Wilmut successfully cloned a lamb* named Dolly from a grown-up sheep.So people call him the “father” of Dolly.
Tony:In fact, the word “clone” means to produce the “same” animal by taking cells* from a grown-up one.I think, if we know how to do cloning, we need only to keep a small number of sheep, cows or horses.
Lana:What’s more, these days some people even want to clone humans.They have asked:Can we clone ourselves?
Tony:It seems interesting.But do you think it possible to do that?
Lana:No, impossible! First, I think we cannot clone a dead person, because the cells in his body are dead already.
Tony:Then can we clone a living person?
Lana:Again no! You might clone yourself one after another, but it is only a copy, not a real you.It is only something, not a “human”.
Tony:Well, you mean that it is not a real human.
Lana:True enough! I think Dr.Wilmut would most like to make better animals, and it has nothing to do with human cloning.
