Abstract
Somatic cell nuclear transfer, more commonly known as cloning, received international attention when scientists introduced Dolly the Sheep, the first mammal ever successfully cloned using an adult cell. In many American minds, cloning evokes Frankensteinian images of mad scientists and their quest to throw off the shackles of nature’s limitations. In the real world, cloning probably only shares one trait with the trials and tribulations of science fiction’s most memorable characters: an enormously high rate of failure.
