April Blog Posting -- CLONES!

We have recently started our class novel study, "The House of the Scorpion". Check out these sites about cloning and then blog about it. (One of your blogs this month should be about cloning/our book!)


Cloning and Dolly the Sheep

Check out these sites for more information about Dolly and cloning:) On your blog, answer the question: What do you think of cloning? Are you for or against it? How is it beneficial to humans? If you could clone an exact copy of yourself -- would you? Why or why not?
