Natural cloning has been around as long as humans. When a fertilized egg splits to create two or more identical embryos a clone is created. We refer to those clones as "twins" or "triplets", etc.

Humans first cloned a sheep in the year 1996. Since then speculation about the viability of artificially cloning a human has been hotly debated but no one has shown any verifiable success. The technology exists to make it a possibility, so it is likely that some laboratories have made serious attempts or will at some time in the near future.

The first successful cloning of a mammal, a sheep named Dolly, was announced in 1997 by researchers in Scotland. This marked a significant advancement in the field of cloning technology and raised ethical concerns about the cloning of humans.
