• Sommario/riassunto: Animal cloning has developed quickly since the birth of Dolly the Sheep. What do Dolly and her fellow mouse, cow, pig, goat and monkey clones mean for science? And for society? Why do many people respond so fearfully to cloning? This book addresses these and other questions. It is useful for students, citizens, and policymakers.
