It is amazing to me that the author is so young, because he is an excellent and interesting speaker. I bought The Perfect Baby after I saw him speak at our Student Convocation. He was so inspirational that I decided to major in bioethics.

This book was a great way to get to know the people who work on genetics and new reproductive technologies. I read the book for my genetics class but I loved it anyway! It tells the history and the science and ethics, but I liked that it is so well written and so human.

This book changed our minds about using BRCA-1 genetic testing. It is the best $11 we spent--about the same amount as a single prenatal vitamin! The history part is really interesting. We shared this book with our friends and it is being discussed at our church after the minister saw it discussed on C-SPAN. There really isn't much bad to say.

The cutting edge of ethics and biomedical research is revealed in Who Owns Life?, a study which considers how gene sequencing may constitute inventions of life subject to patents and profits. Important connections between the motive for profit and the creation and manipulation of life are revealed in chapters which consider some eye-opening issues of generic research.

This is a great collection of strong opinions on the new LD topic about genetic engineering. We used it for cards and to get us acquainted with the whole shebang.

The human cloning debate provides a comprehensive view of the debate of human cloning and the ethical reasoning behind it. I learned that a sheep was not the first thing to be cloned, it was actually a piece of american cheese back in 1992. This book provides views from both sides of the spectrum and give you an unbias approach to your view on human cloning.

"The Human Cloning Debate" is the most informative book have read this year. The essays are fairly well balanced although there are more that are opposed than in favor. But, there are probably more people opposed to human cloning than are in favor. At any rate this is an excellent book.

There are several really good layman's descriptions of exactly what the biological results of cloning are. Big surprise, it is not what the media have led us to believe. On the other hand knowing the exact results does not seem to change the preponderance of opinion one way or the other.

One of the best essays in the book for describing the science was written by Phillip Kitcher, although I think the conclusions he reached were totally off base. He wrote "Reality is much more sobering, and it is a good idea to preface debates about the morality of human cloning with a clear understanding of the scientific facts" To many of us forced our ideas about cloning before we knew the facts.

Perhaps the whole debate was summed up in a single sentence written by Jonathan R. Cohen n his essay "Cloning in Jewish Thought". "Ultimately, cloning challenges us to consider how important our genetic structure is to our sense of self."

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the ethical debate surrounding cloning.
