Cloning is a technique scientists use to create exact genetic copies of animals

Animals can be cloned one of two ways: embryo twinning or somatic cell nuclear transfer

Scientists have yet to clone a human because it is difficult to produce a viable clone, as well as ethical concerns for both the overall well-being of the clone and the mother of the clone
