Is it possible or not? These days scientists have been researching ways t0 clone animals. Yes, it is possible to clone animals. The question is, is the meat from a cloned animal edible and safe to eat?
One of the most famous cloned animals was a sheep named Dolly. (she was not the first animal ever cloned though) Dolly the sheep was a normal cloned looking sheep but she caused so much excitement. That is because the animals cloned before her were cloned by an embryo. She was the first mammal cloned by an adult cell. She was a big scientific achievement.
Dolly was born in 1996. Since than, scientists have tried cloning other animals with an adult cell. Most were successful! In some peoples opinions cloning is the beginning of the high tech future. Maybe it is or may its not. Even if its not Dolly the sheep was a big success.
Now, why are scientists interested in cloning sheep? One reason maybe more meat for people to buy. Cloned animals are edible and are okay to eat. Another reason may be that scientists are finding medicine in the milk of some animals and the more animals the more medicine they can get and sell to supply for the whole world population. Some animals that are cloned reproduce human antibodies against infectious diseases and even cancer. There may also be other scientifical and medical reasons. there is just to many to name.
