"By including articles that cover a wide range of analytical
perspective and moral positions, this volume provides a good
overview of the debate on human cloning. George Annas argues that
human cloning should be banned because it "radically alters the
very definition of what it is to be be human" Michael Tooley finds
it morally acceptable, and points out its potential benefits to
society. Jan Hellerargues that the common religious objections
against human cloning lack substantive moral support. The other
three contributors aim primarily to situate the discussion within a
larger historical framework." - Quarterly Review of Biology
"A volume in the Biomedical Ethics Review series, this book
examines cloning from a number of disciplinary perspectives,
including historical, ethical, and religious. In the context of a
rapidly burgeoning literature on the topic of cloning and related
issues, this addition is welcome in bringing together these
different approaches. ...The value of this collection of paper lies
at least partly in its reflection on the main themes and trends;
partly in its analysis of forms of argument and their applicability
to the topic." -International Digest of Health Legislation
