It's only human nature to ask, "If sea anemones can clone themselves without trying, and the natural cloning powers of plants are so easily exploited, why can't we begin learning how to clone ourselves?" This chapter presents an overview of the naturally occurring process of cloning found in nature and how it was later duplicated in the science lab by successfully cloning the infamous sheep, Dolly. This free selection includes the Table of Contents, the Introduction for the book, and a student section that provides a brief presentation of this controversial issue along with writing prompts to stimulate critical thinking.
