*Image: MouseMan. Posted on July 31, 2007. http://www.genetologisch-onderzoek.nl/index.php/category/biologie/zoology/I found this picture to be incredibly disturbing. This picture started circulating in 1997 and shows a mouse with supposedly an ear growing out of its back. This picture started a huge protest of genetic engineering and would make a good picture to help illustrate the negative aspects of cloning.
*Image: Dolly. Posted on CBBC Newsround. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/find_out/guides/tech/cloning/newsid_1676000/1676793.stmYes, I realize it is a sheep. BUT it is not just any sheep. This is a picture of the famous Dolly, who in 1997, was the first mammal to ever be cloned. Dolly was a huge step in the cloning world since she was the first, and I believe that she has a right to be included in anything that is dealing with cloning since she was one of the first pioneers.
*Image: Programing Clones. Posted on Computer Science for Fun 2004-2008. http://www.cs4fn.org/fundamentals/programming.phpI thought that this was a really fitting picture to be included with the scares of cloning on future generations. It makes you wonder if that is just science fiction or whether we really will have "designer babies" and everyone's destinies and futures are already laid out before they are born.

Wow Kirsten! These pictures are really disturbing. I defenatly do NOT like the one with the mouse and the ear attached to it! So sad!! Cloning is such a controversial issue that I bet you can find millions of images, all equally biased to the mistakes. I am glad you included the sheep though. This shows some of the positive aspects of cloning.
