Review
"Kolata brings keen insight to her analysis of the implications of cloning and makes the complex details of genetics and cellbiology interesting and accessible. And she tells a great story, noting the curious twists and turns on the road to Dolly andhow humble animal scientists carried out the plodding work of making cloning a reality. What lies ahead? Cloning can makeit possible to grow organs for transplant, to produce inexpensive pharmaceuticals and help infertile couples have children.Will it also degrade individuality and increase human arrogance? Theologians, ethicists and scientists differ on thesequestions. But the impact of this new technology, made clear through Kolata's expert coverage, cannot be overstated."-- "Publishers Weekly"
From the Back Cover
The birth of Dolly - the world's first clone - literally placed in our hands the secret of creation. Few discoveries have so challenged our sense of identity or presented such a complex knot of pressing ethical, spiritual, and scientific dilemmas. Science journalist Gina Kolata, the first reporter to speak with Dr. Ian Wilmut, the embryologist who cloned Dolly, has had unprecedented access to key scientists, ethicists, and experts at the center of the event. In this book, she reveals the story behind Dolly - reaching back to our earliest attempts to clone, uncovering the startling, largely unreported events that led to Dolly's birth, and exploring the mind-boggling questions that Dolly presents for our future.
