As the #1 topic in bioethics, cloning has made big news since
Dolly's announced birth in 1998. In a new book building on his
classic Who's Afraid of Human Cloning?, pioneering bioethicist
Gregory E. Pence continues to advocate a reasoned view of cloning.
Beginning with his surreal experiences as an expert witness before
Congressional and California legislative committees, Pence analyzes
the astounding recent progress in animal cloning; the coming
surprises about human cloning; the links between animal, stem cell,
and human cloning; embryo politics; and other hot topics like
artificial wombs and transgenic animals. Pence rebuts the growing
chorus of naysayers headed by Leon Kass, chairman of the
President's Council on Bioethics, who attack the biomedical
sciences, and explains why cloning will save endangered species and
beloved pets, and help future children and people with degenerative
diseases.
