embryo cloning

Embryo cloning is a scientific process where an identical copy of an organism's embryo is created. It involves taking a cell from a donor's embryo and then stimulating it to develop into a new embryo that is genetically identical to the original. This cloned embryo can then be implanted into a uterus to develop into a living organism. The most well-known example is Dolly the sheep, who was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. Cloning raises ethical questions and is primarily used in research, agriculture, and conservation efforts.
