The Roslin Institute states that “Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, is by far the world’s most famous clone” (1996). The ability to achieve this scientific breakthrough has developed over many years of research, resulting in a controversy over the implications that are now possible stemming from this research. Cloning has resulted in several advances in science and technology, from increased food production to the advancement of organ replacement, along with the debate that comes with this type of research. One of the most debated and controversial ideas that came from successful cloning was that science fiction has become a reality and that the world would become overrun by clones. Human cloning was at the forefront of newspapers, government, and religious foundations. The president, Bill Clinton, along with congress enacted legislation to ban the practice of human cloning (McCarthy, 1997). Even more bills were introduced in both houses of congress when the Raelian religious movement stated that they had plans to clone a baby (Vogel, 2001). Within the next few years, Stem cell research for therapeutic cloning will become the major discussion in both parties of congress, bringing with it further breakthroughs in research. Through the research conducted with Dolly the sheep, scientists have made it possible to clone animals such as cattle, pigs, and goats. These clones are not grown from a test tube, but are clinically engineered and then placed in a female that gives birth like any other normal animal. Cattle are not mass-produced as a food source, at least not yet, and are mainly used as a way to improve the stock. The food and Drug Administration states “that there were no additional risks to people eating food from clones or their offspring” (Bren, 2007). People have been eating cloned or genetically altered food for many years. Beginning with the combination of cross-breeding crops for th
