Cloning is the process of artificially synthesizing one (1) or more “copies” of exact or near identical molecular or genetic material, cells or complete organisms.

The word Clone is derived from the ancient Greek word κλών (klōn) meaning “twig”.

There are four (4) forms of Cloning distinguished by complexity and scope being Molecular, Genetic, Cellular and Organism:

(i) Molecular Cloning is the process of artificially synthesizing one (1) or more “copies” or naturally occurring or synthetically designed molecules; and

(ii) Genetic Cloning process of artificially synthesizing one (1) or more “copies” of naturally occurring or synthetically designed DNA or RNA strands; and

(iii) Cellular Cloning process of artificially synthesizing one (1) or more “copies” of naturally occurring or synthetically designed cells; and

(iv) Organism Cloning process of artificially synthesizing one (1) or more “copies” of naturally occurring or synthetically designed organisms.

The use of Organism Cloning techniques on mammalian gametes or embryos is forbidden, reprobate, to be suppressed and never revived.
