What are the differences between the cloned animals and the normal ones?
Do you think the cloned animals are as healthy as the natural ones?
Dolly is, but scientists do not yet know whether this is the exception( 例外 ) or the rule. Some early evidences suggest that clones may have health problems and that they may age prematurely ( 早衰的,未老先衰 ).
Supposing you are facing your second self who looks like you, talks like you and thinks like you, how do you feel?
