Synopsis
Written by pioneers in cloning research and practice, this accessible book explores the history, recent scientific advances, and far-reaching implications of cloning technology. The authors urge readers to look past popular media coverage--and its emphasis on the potential of artificial human replication--and to focus instead on placing the contributions of this research in context with other important developments in biotechnology.

Publisher's Note
When Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell of the Roslin Institute announced in February 1997 that they had cloned Dolly from the cell of an adult sheep, fears were expressed that it would only be a matter of time before human cloning became feasible. "This is an outcome I hope never comes to pass," writes Wilmut. "But the ability to make clones from cultured cells derived from easily obtained tissue should bring numerous practical benefits in animal husbandry and medical science, as well as answer critical biological questions." In this definitive book, the authors explain the possibilities--good and bad--that have been opened up by their revolutionary new techniques.

Industry Reviews
"[O]ne of the most valuable books of the current season....The story itself is intriguing, a scientific detective tale marked by false starts and dead ends....It's steady, detailed and forthright about ongoing and to-date irresolvable mysteries of biology. Moreover, in a straightforward scientific narrative, the authors of DOLLY confront the persistent conundrum....Are there 'essences' that exist beyond the realm of science, which, God given or nature made, are unknowable, unalterable by the techniques of Cartesian inquiry?....[I]n the way that only great books can, the authors of THE SECOND CREATION have taken us so far into the frontiers of science that they have revealed whole galaxies of mystery that the thoughtful creative mind must now explore."
Salon - Frank Browning (07/27/2000)

"After all the hype [surrounding cloning], we need to get back down to earth. In this book the science writer Colin Trudge joins Ian Wilmut and Keith Cambell in a careful explanation of how Dolly was cloned, why she was cloned, and what it might mean....The authors work hard at stripping away the hype--so hard that they risk stripping away the interest as well....I struggled through pedestrian espositions of basic genetics and cell biology....[W]hen the story moves on to the cloned sheep...the pace and interest pick up."
British Medical Journal (Internet) - Andrew P. Read (10/14/2000)
