Dawn of the Clone Age

In February 1997, science fiction took a step closer to science fact when a team of British scientists achieved what many believed to be impossible—the successful cloning of an animal. This is the most complete documentary ever made on the subject of the sheep named Dolly, the science of cloning, and the debate surrounding cloning ethics. Capitalizing on exclusive access to Dolly’s creators, this program charts their struggle to discover the Holy Grail of embryology and examines the future ethical implications raised by cloning. A BBC Production. (50 minutes)
