There isn't a single scientific name for cloning. It's a general term that encompasses various techniques and processes, each with its own specific scientific terminology. Here are some examples:

* Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT): This is the most common type of cloning, used to create Dolly the sheep. It involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell (any cell other than a sperm or egg cell) into an enucleated egg cell.

* Artificial embryo twinning: This technique involves splitting an early embryo into multiple embryos, which are then implanted into surrogate mothers.

* Gene cloning: This refers to the process of creating copies of a specific gene, often for research purposes.

* Reproductive cloning: This involves creating a genetically identical copy of an existing organism.

* Therapeutic cloning: This involves creating embryonic stem cells for research or therapeutic purposes.

While there isn't one universal term, "cloning" is the common, understood, and generally accepted scientific term across all these techniques.
