... is the technique of producing a genetically identical duplicate of an organism. Many organisms that have, do, and will continue to clone themselves are bacteria, most unicellular organisms, plants (not from seed), most algae, most fungi, and many invertebrates and for those who have an/some identical twin(s), you are basically clones of each other. Scientists at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh ... provide children who need organ transplants to have a clone born to donate organs. It could also provide a copy of a child for a couple whose child had died. Cloning also has its bad points....
