About this listen

 Would you drink milk from a cloned cow? Should we clone extinct or endangered species? Are we justified in using stem cells to develop cures? When will we clone the first human? Ever since Dolly the sheep, such questions have rarely been far from the public consciousness. Aaron Levine explains the science of cloning and guides listeners around the thorny political and ethical issues that have developed.©2007 Aaron Levine. (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Engineering

Editorial reviews

A prickly, hot-button issue, public debates surrounding cloning often veer into political and religious territory, and lead to grandstanding by those without a full grasp of the subject at hand. There is no doubt that cloning raises serious ethical concerns, but having a fundamental understanding of its history, scientific foundation, and potential practical applications in the real world is essential, and that’s exactly what Aaron Levine provides in his insightful and thought-provoking introductory overview, which is expertly read by Donna Postel, whose serene, maternal voice makes this illuminating seven-hour audiobook fly by.

Critic Reviews

“An excellent general introduction to the complex subject of cloning.” (Dr. Ian Wilmut, lead scientist in the team to clone Dolly, the sheep)
“Brings together the scientific, ethical, policy, and potential applications of cloning research in a clear and highly readable discussion.” (Dr. Jane Maienschein; Director, Center for Biology and Society, Arizona State University, and author of “Whose View of Life? Embryos, Cloning, and Stem Cells”.)
“I highly recommend this book to everyone: I think it would be especially good as additional reading material for introductory genetics courses, bioethics and biomedical classes.” (Scienceblogs.com)
