About this title

Synopsis

Recounts how Dolly the clone sheep was created and covers the techniques for her predecessors, Megan and Morag, who were cloned from embryo cells. The authors explain the scientific reasons behind their research, discuss where they believe this technology will lead, and address the ethical issues that have been raised by Dolly's creation.

About the Authors

Dr Ian Wilmut, an embryologist, is the team leader at Roslin responsible for the cloning of Dolly the sheep; he comes from the Midlands.

Keith Campbell, a cell biologist, devised the technique that made cloning a reality and was one of the key members of the Roslin team that cloned Dolly. He now lives and works in Nottingham.

Colin Tudge is a biologist by education and a writer by inclination - on biology, food and agriculture, and the philosophy of science.
