The cloning of a sheep has shocked, amazed and provoked the world. Kolata presents an energetic and informative account of the most extraordinary science story of our time, and considers Dolly's ethical implications.
A Clone of Your Own?
Someday soon, if it hasn't happened in secret already, the first cloned human will be born and mankind will embark on a scientific and moral journey whose destination cannot be foretold. In A Clone of Your Own?, Arlene Judith Klotzko describes the new world of possibilities that can be glimpsed over the horizon. In a lucid and engaging narrative, she explains that the technology to create clones of living beings already exists, inaugurated in 1996 by Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from a single adult cell. Our fascination with cloning is about much more than science and its extraordinary medical implications. In riveting prose, full of allusions to art, music, and the cinema, Klotzko shows why the prospect of human cloning triggers our dearest hopes and especially our darkest fears, forcing us to ponder anew what it means to be human, and what it would be like to have 'a clone of your own'.
