Recently, scientists have succeeded in cloning sheep and other animals. The ability to clone human beings now seems within reach. The Human Cloning Debate is the most complete and up-to-date exploration of this compelling topic. Here for the first time are the views of Ian Wilmut, the researcher who cloned Dolly, on human cloning. Leading bioethicists and legal experts -- including John Robertson, Arthur Caplan, and Richard Lewontin -- discuss the good reasons for cloning, and the dangers. Religious leaders weigh in on the implications of "playing God." Potter Wickware of Nature magazine supplies an easy-to-understand explanation of cloning science. The book is edited and introduced by Glenn McGee, a news analyst for NBC and member of Penn's Bioethics Center. The Human Cloning Debate is a comprehensive treatment of one of the most exciting controversies today.
