Cloning

Cloning, as generally reported in the media, usually addresses "only one type called reproductive cloning. There are different types of cloning however, and cloning technologies can be used for other purposes besides producing the genetic twin of another organism." The three types of cloning technologies are: "(1) recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, (2) reproductive cloning, and (3) therapeutic cloning."
