Description
"Since 'Dolly the sheep' hit the headlines in 1997, cloning has been equated with human reproductive cloning. Everywhere we look we see pictures of identical babies, identical tyrants, and identical heroes, as though this is what human cloning will amount to. This duplication motif has dominated discussions so that national leaders, parliaments amd government committees have been carried away on a tide of fear and resentment. This book aims to place cloning in a more realistic setting." "Writing from the perspective of a Christian biologist and anatomist, Dr. Gareth Jones explores biomedical manipulation with specific reference to therapeutic cloning (or somatic cell nuclear transfer) plus stem cell technology and the human genome project. He follows the developments leading up to cloning, and assesses the arguments used against the various forms of cloning, including the arguments of Christians." "This book goes well beyond cloning in a narrow sense, forcing us to ask questions like 'Can technology threaten God's image in humans?' as well as 'Are we not taking cloning, and our scientific expertise, too seriously?'."--BOOK JACKET.
