The idea of cloning has been considered since before the discovery of DNA.  Cloning may give us insights into what makes us individuals, and how much of our personality and behavior is based on our genetics.  It may also destroy our sense of individuality and the value of life.  Many of these issues are discussed in depth on this page.
        Note: Cloning is common in nature with plants, single-celled animals, and many invertebrates.  By the most basic definition, asexual reproduction is cloning.  For that reason, cloning plants and invertebrates is an old science, and is probably covered in your science textbook.  Therefore, the focus of this area will not be on cloning plants and worms, but on the new areas of discovery.
