Full Description
Once in a while a discovery changes the course of medicine and sometimes, the course of history itself. The "Great Medical Discoveries" series chronicles just such milestones. In clear, non-technical terms, the text describes how people coped before the discovery, the events leading to the discovery, the discovery itself and future directions in research. This volume discusses cloning as it relates to animals, plants, and humans, and analyzes the story behind the creation of Dolly, benefits and disadvantages of the science, and moral issues surrounding the cloning of humans.
