Scientists tend to question all kinds of things that they see around them -- even things that wouldn't seem to be worth noticing to the unscientific mind.
Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming didn't always clean up after himself in his laboratory; often he left used culture dishes lying around. On September 15, 1928, Fleming noticed a bacteria-killing mold growing in one of the discarded dishes, and saw that the bacteria he was experimenting with refused to grow around the mold. A year later, he wrote about his findings, calling the mold penicillin.
Two chemists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, continued Fleming's work and showed that a refined form of the penicillin was successful in treating infected mice. By 1942, the drug had been tested on humans and the next year, it was already in use in the military, for treatment of soldiers with syphilis. Fleming, Florey and Chain shared 1945's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their work in the development of penicillin.

It is good because we can clone animals that are endangered such as polar bars and pandas...but it is bad because, well, do you want a scientist to clone tons of Mosquitos and let them out in your area. No? Didn't think so because you would have tons of mosquito bites. So it is bad and good. In my opinion I guess.
