Ever since Dolly, the Scottish lamb, tottered on wobbly legs into our consciousness - followed swiftly by other animals: first, mice; then pigs that may provide human transplants, and even an ordinary house cat - thoughts have flown to the cloning of human beings. This title examines the political reaction to this science.

Helps you to understand reasons behind support of and disdain for interspecies research in such areas as chimerism, hybridization, cross-species embryo transfer, and transgenics. This title highlights two claims critics make against early interspecies studies: that the research can violate human dignity and that it can lead to procreation.
