Cloning
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.

Review: CloningEach volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selectionsby experts, policy makers, and concerned citizensinclude complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers.BooklistRL
