At the same time, humans are also working to actively shape this natural world through contemporary bioscience and biotechnology. In Cloning Wild Life, Carrie Friese posits that cloned endangered animals in zoos sit at the apex of these two trends, as humans seek a scientific solution to environmental crisis. Often fraught with controversy, cloning technologies, Friese argues, significantly affect our conceptualizations of and engagements with wildlife and nature. By studying animals at different locations, Friese explores the human practices surrounding the cloning of endangered animals. She visits zoos?the San Diego Zoological Park, the Audubon Center in New Orleans, and the Zoological Society of London?to see cloning and related practices in action, as well as attending academic and medical conferences and interviewing scientists, conservationists, and zookeepers involved in cloning. Ultimately, she concludes that the act of recalibrating nature through science is what most disturbs us about cloning animals in captivity, revealing that debates over cloning become, in the end, a site of political struggle between different human groups. Moreover, Friese explores the implications of the social role that animals at the zoo play in the first place?how they are viewed, consumed, and used by humans for our own needs. A unique study uniting sociology and the study of science and technology, Cloning Wild Life demonstrates just how much bioscience reproduces and changes our ideas about the meaning of life itself. 410 0$aBiopolitics (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aEndangered species 606 $aCloning 615 0$aEndangered species. 615 0$aCloning. 676 $a571.9646 700 $aFriese$b Carrie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01516918 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787557603321 996 $aCloning Wild Life$93753637 997 $aUNINA
