Dr. S and Dolly (4) |
Buckle up children, or like we say in France "Boucler!" Does anyone have any clue what cloning means? You may be thinking it just having two things that are exactly the same, and you are correct! Congrats, you win a pat on the back! Go, give it to yourself now! Awesome work children! Cloning is basically having two of something. They look exactly the same! If I may interrupt Dr. L? Yes, go on ahead Dr. Smeaully! Great job kids you are doing great, but I can take over from here Dr. L. You guys are right! Cloning is like having a double of something. Here we are at our first stop on our Science Train. Oh wow, look! There is the photo of me with Dolly(Dall-ley)(4). She was the first ever cloned animal (5). There I am on the right with her! Isn't she beautiful? They were really hard to tell apart. They looked exactly the same, kind of like all vegetables do! How lucky Dr. S. I wish I got to see her! Dolly was created through a process called Reproductive Cloning. There are two other ways of cloning called Gene and Therapeutic, but Reproductive is our favorite one! Yes, Dr. L, very well said! Now, on our Science Train, we have 2 stops to make to figure out what Reproductive cloning is! Hold on!

Surrogate Mother (11) |
Oh, we made it! Here we are, at the surrogate mother (11). A surrogate mother is just a mommy who will carry that embryo and nurture it (12). Look on the right side of our Science Train, here we see some surrogate mothers! They are any age, any size, and any race! It doesn't matter, as long as you can carry a baby, you can do it! We put the embryo in them, and then they carry the baby! Then after 9 months, the baby would be born and it would be a clone! Isn't that crazy kids? Let's go back home to discuss the possibilities of this.
Wow, and we are back! Well kids, how did you like that Science Train? It sure is my favorite! Now, cloning seems crazy and really long right? Actually, it has not been successfully completed yet! We are still trying to clone people, but we haven't yet! But do not worry, in the future, we will accomplish it! Yes, I agree Dr. L. Hopefully one day I can have a clone of myself, but one with hair! You too kids! How awesome would it be to have a clone of yourself? Your clone could go to school, while you stayed at home and slept! If you kids really want to know more about it, check out my best friend Bill Nye's awesome video on clones!CLICK HERE!(13) Thanks kids for joining us on our Science Train and learning about cloning! Until next time, bye, or as I say in French, Au Revoir! See you later Dr. Le'Fart! I hope you enjoyed our talk today! Until next time, be safe kids! Remember, clones will happen soon! So the next time you talk to your teacher ask yourself, are they a clone?! Maybe even asks your parents! (14)
