24、eded in producing clones of cows and goats, and continues to research ways in which cloning can benefit mankind.,完美的复制品科学家宣布他们已经克隆出了第一例人类胚胎。这引起了世界范围的争论。一方面，一些科学家指出如果克隆人类胚胎，你就可以制造出宝贵的人体组织如骨组织或肺组织它们可以用来拯救人类的生命。另一方面，包括一些科学家在内的许多人持不同意见，他们担心人类如果如此戏弄自然，可能将制造出一个现实生活中的弗兰肯斯坦怪物。克隆就是利用动物或植物的细胞制造出一个一模一样的动物或植物的复
25、制品。第一只成功地用成年动物细胞克隆出的哺乳动物是多利羊。她出生在1996年，但2003年初就死掉了，比正常情况下羊的寿命要短得多。多利羊出生的时候，很多人担心克隆会给动物世界带来更多疾病。然而，总体上来说，科学家们还是因为其突出的科学进步而得到了人们的称赞。创造出多利羊的苏格兰科学家伊恩威尔莫特在得知有些科学家正在考虑克隆人的消息后感到非常震惊。尽管伊恩威尔莫特研究克隆，但他的目的根本不是要制造人类的复制品。相反，他认为应该将研究精力集中在制造能够被用来治疗癌症等疾病的组织和器官上。但是，有些人认为怀着摧毁人类胚胎的意图来克隆人类胚胎是对人类生命的不尊重。尽管克隆人类引起了人们的很多忧虑，但
