Title: Clones & Clones - Facts & Fantasies About Human Cloning
Description: Norton & Company. 1999. Paperback. l Human cloning is a prospect the contributors to Clones and Clones view with varying degrees of alarm, calm, ambivalence, and not a little humor. Ranging from psychoanalyst Adam Phillips's case study of a child whose confusion of cloning and clothing expresses our mixed desire and terror of sameness, to Stephen Jay Gould's and Richard Dawkins's characteristically pithy and intelligent essays (Civilization); from William Ian Miller's analysis of the queasiness the subject elicits in many of us, to Martha Nussbaum's witty and elegiac fantasy of the cloning of a lost lover-this superb collection limns our beliefs and concerns about what it means to be human. 351 p. Good.
