aussie, I don't think cuttings to grow a plant is cloning. Just like grafting is not cloning. Cloning is when you take a plant cell and stimulate and or manipulate it such that it begins to replicate and produce tissue and ideally a new plant.

Back in the 60's the primitive approaches to cloning, trying to grow a plant from a single cell of a "parent" (or donor plant) often resulted in some sort of lump of tissue and not a viable plant. We've come a long way baby!

Intelligent Design: I strongly believe in intelligent design. I also strongly believe that evolutiion IS intellligent design!!
