by Ian Wilmut and Roger Highfield

Ten years ago, on July 5 1996, a new technological era was born with the birth of the cloned sheep named Dolly. One of this book's authors, Ian Wilmut, is the scientist responsible for Dolly's birth. After describing cloning's past, present, and possible future, the author discusses the moral issues of his work, which comprises the most controversial and important ethical problems that science (and scientists) have ever faced.
