Cloning

Cloning refers to the creation of an exact copy of an individual organism from its a DNA.
Bio-engineers in the United Kingdom first cloned a sheep in 1990s. By the early 21st century, the technology existed to clone human beings but the practice of human cloning raised ethical concerns.
In 2029, the People's Republic of China broke this long standing taboo becoming the first nation to clone a human being. Some commentators saw this as an expansion of Beijing's eugenics program and a product of cultural differences between Asian and western nations over the replication and alteration of the human genome with the former favoring the practice more than the latter.
