Format:Hardcover
This book provides a competent, if brief, overview of the technology and the ethical issues surrounding cloning. It therefore serves as a reasonable introduction to the science with as much detail as the non-specialist is likely to require. On the ethical side it is somewhat lightweight however, restricting itself to a summary of well-rehearsed arguments better dealt with elsewhere. This is both disappointing and surprising given that the author is a bioethicist and lawyer. The book is definitely more journalism than scholarship. In this sense therefore I found the book fell short of expectation; it also seems at times to be written as an apologetic for cloning rather than a balanced examination of arguments. Of particular interest in this regard is the support for reproductive cloning under certain circumstances. Having said that the book is accessible, readable and serves as a great introduction to the field. If you want the main points in a nutshell this book will not disappoint.

Far from a dry scientific tome, this is a brilliant exploration of all aspects of cloning and the implications of new developments in the field for our future. The author unravels the moral maze surrounding the science in an authoritative, lucid and engaging style. If you read one book on the subject make it this one.

Highly recommended 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This is an extremely readable book. I am not a scientist, but I read it without any difficulty. The scientific explanations are easy to follow, the book is well-organised and the style is very clear. The author seems to take the reader by the hand; I felt as though I was being led through a complex issue by a well-informed and thoughtful guide.
The book covers all aspects of cloning and deals with both the scientific and the ethical questions which surround it. It is informative and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
