Theoretically, they can; all that would be required is DNA from an extinct dinosaur and a currently living closely related species which would act as a surrogate mother (代孕母亲)．In fact, there is continuing research to clone the Woolly Mammoth by extracting (提取) the DNA from frozen animals.Actually, cloning is a phenomenon that occurs naturally in a wide variety of species.Whenever you see a pair of identical twins, they are examples of nature's clones.Although scientists have been cloning certain plants like the carrot quite successfully for decades, attempts at cloning animals have not been as successful.However, they began long before the birth of Dolly, the sheep—the first mammal to be successfully cloned. Cloning humans does give rise to some misgivings,_raising a number of moral problems involved.In fact, the social influences of producing humans artificially were brilliantly explored in the famous novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and also in the movie The Island.Human cloning is basically about creating a genetically (基因地) identical copy of a previously existing person.Why would some people choose to clone human beings？Well, generally, it could make couples unable to have babies have their own children.Replacing a dead child is also another reason why some people have expressed interest in the technology. 文章大意：本文是说明文。介绍了克隆的相关情况。1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.
