World's first clone farm

Scientists are building the world's first clone farm. A researcher, David Wells from the Roslin Institute of Edinburgh, which created Dolly the sheep, has moved to New Zealand to help build up a 1500 strong herd of genetically engineered cows. David Wells worked with Ian Wilmut, one of the creators of Dolly.
The cows, intended to produce medicine in their milk, will mark the first attempt to use cloning in commercial agriculture. Eventually clone farms could be setup through out the world to combat diseases including multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis.

Many New Zealanders are outraged by the project which they have dubbed as "Frankenstein's Farm".
