Best Answer

Well, recently cloning has been attempted only for copying specific organs, not necessarily whole human beings. This is important because the cloning of specific organs can completely obliterate the need to transplant organs and would guarantee 100% compatibility. This has been considered immoral on some counterparts because the stem cells needed to follow through with cloning require stem cells.

This process is sometimes called cloning because every new plant is exactly like the parent. One type of cloning uses cuttings--parts of plants that grow into new plants.

Other kinds of cloning use bulbs or tubers--underground parts that make new plants.
