India’s Secret Science Of Cloning

India Classified

In 1996, scientists at Roslin Institute of Scotland cloned a sheep and named it Dolly. Dolly was celebrated as the world’s first cloned mammal. This event occurred just 3 decades back. But, Indian scriptures, written thousands of years ago, have several references of cloning. The Vedas and Puranas talk about not only animals but also humans that might have been cloned. Some doctors say that the processes and methods mentioned in these books are feasible today.

Did ancient Indians know the complex science of cloning? Is human cloning possible, and even necessary?
