In "Frankenstein's Cat, "Emily Anthes travels from petri dish to
pet store as she explores how biotechnology is shaping the future
of our furry and feathered friends. She discovers how we can use
cloning to protect endangered species and craft prosthetics to save
injured animals; introduces us to some of the animals that are
ushering in this astonishing age of enhancement, including cyborg
beetles and the world's first cloned cat; and interviews the
innovators who are attempting to improve the lives of many
species--including our own. Highlighting both the peril and the
promise of our scientific superpowers, Anthes takes us on an
adventure into a world where our grandest science fiction fantasies
are fast becoming reality.
