I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Boron Zone. It has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
“Dolly” the sheep was cloned in the United Kingdom back in the early 2000s. So if we are able to clone a sheep, it is likely that we are also able to clone humans or that point is not that far away.
However, the question becomes not a technical one, but an ethical one. Is it appropriate to clone a human? Mainstream scientific work is governed by ethical considerations and all research institutions will have Ethic Committees which approve projects before they proceed. It is highly unlikely that such a research project would be approved!
