Overview

Fifty years ago, cloning was a sci-fi concept. Now, it is a reality, including people having the option of cloning the family pet so that some of it can live on. Give your readers an exhaustive study of the core concepts of cloning. What are the ethical and moral issues surrounding research cloning, reproductive cloning, and animal cloning? How can it be regulated? Several essays support multiple sides of the answers to these questions. Readers benefit from sources such as the Right to Life of Michigan Education Fund, Joyce C. Havstad, Humane Society of the United State, Biotechnology Industry Organization, and the Association of American Universities.
