The public responded to Dolly with a mixture of fear and excitement, questioning the benefits and the disasters that could happen ... harm put upon those involved with the process. First, Dolly was the only success out of 277 attempts. With humans, there is the risk of hormonal mutations, multiple miscarriages, and possibly developmental deformities in the child, and no one knows how many attempts it will take until a clone is finally “born”.
