Abstract
The term 'cloning', both in thought and experimental practice, has taken on different meanings which in turn presume different procedures from the technical viewpoint as well as different aims. The term in itself means the reproduction of a biological entity which is genetically identical to the one from which it originated. The Greek term 'klon' makes us think of a sprig from a plant which when inserted into mature soil can reproduce the plant from which it was taken.
