Summary
The perfect copy
Scientists have announced that they have cloned the first human embryo, has caused much debate round the world.Some think cloning human embryos will benefit humans,while many people argue against toying with nature.
Cloning is using a plant's or an animal's
cells (produce)an exact copy of them. The first (successful) cloned mammal was Dolly the sheep, birth once caused many people's worry. Dolly had a much (short) life than normal.

Ian Wilmut, the scientist who created Dolly,didn't agree on cloning human beings, but he thought cloning should be applied to (cure) diseases like cancer. However, human cloning meets the needs of Faye Wilson, who cannot have a baby. In china, scientists have focused on cloning animals and tissues for (medicine) treatment.
Two readers also express their opinions. Pauline is cautious about human cioning. She declares human life couldn't be for sale and as to those who cannot have a baby,she advises them (adopt) one. Colin encourages scientists to continue human cloning, since they (challenge) moral ideas for centries.
