Fascinating Book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I must say that after reading this book I realize there is a lot more to the topic of cloning than I thought there was. It's written for young people, but it's so thorough and well written that just about anybody will enjoy it. Be warned that the book doesn't take any particular side on this contraversial issue. It gives opinions from both sides and lets the reader decide for himself. I hartily recomend it to anybody interested in this subject. Let's face it, pretty soon somebody is bound to clone a person, and it's better to be well-informed about it when it happens than full of misconceptions, which this book helps clear up.
