Seeing Double – Personal Thoughts on Genes, Genetics and Cloning

When I am rushed off my feet at work I often joke that I will have to be cloned in order to get everything done. I remember hearing about Dolly the sheep and not really thinking much about the significance, after all sheep seem very similar anyway. I suppose when you hear about cloning you think of two identical individuals, like identical twins, but it isn’t really like that. A clone isn’t a carbon copy in the sense that it is the same age etc, it is made from the same genetic material. I don’t really know if it is a good thing, I am not that comfortable about messing around with nature, but if I had a problem in my family that could be helped by that sort of technology I wouldn’t have any ethical issues about using it.
