Dolly was the first ever cloned sheep and it started when cells where taken from a Finn Dorset ewe and is placed in a culture with a very low contoncentation of nutrients. Starved, the cell stop dividing and switch off genes.

Should cloning be used to create the perfect human?

Hi! Human cloning can probably be perfected but scientists are not that advanced yet. I'm working on an essay for human and animal cloning. Animal cloning has been successful with Dolly the Sheep and others but most of them have died young. Others also say that cloning has hidden DNA damage. So animal cloning is close to perfection-really close they have been successful but humans don't want to risk being tested unless scientists are absolutely sure. We have a while to wait!

Are scientisits considering cloning the saber-toothed tiger?

Currently, I have not heard any news on scientists cloning the Saber-toothed Tiger. As of December 2011, however, news broke that scientists plan to clone the wooly mammoth within five years. If this is a successful cloning, I will bet that scientists will pursue interest in cloning more extinct creatures.
