“An excellent general introduction to the complex subject of cloning.”
Dr. Ian Wilmut, lead scientist in the team to clone Dolly, the sheep

Would you drink milk from a cloned cow? Aaron Levine outlines the realities behind cloning and the politics that encircle its development.

Would you drink milk from a cloned cow? Should we clone extinct or endangered species? Are we justified in using stem cells to develop cures? When will we clone the first human? Ever since Dolly the sheep, such questions have rarely been far from the public consciousness. Aaron Levine explains the science of cloning and guides listeners around the thorny political and ethical issues that have developed.

“Brings together the scientific, ethical, policy, and potential applications of cloning research in a clear and highly readable discussion.”
Dr. Jane Maienschein; Director, Center for Biology and Society, Arizona State University, and author of “Whose View of Life? Embryos, Cloning, and Stem Cells”.

“I highly recommend this book to everyone: I think it would be especially good as additional reading material for introductory genetics courses, bioethics and biomedical classes.”
