    If we can pay to clone our pets, are humans next? Explore the biological reality and ethical risks of trying to recreate life through genetic science.

    Pet cloning and the ethics of human replication

    Miglior citazione da Pet cloning and the ethics of human replication

    “

    Genetics is just the ink, not the story. You can use the same ink, but you’ll never write the same book twice.

    Domanda di input

    I’d like to hear a frank discussion on cloning. I saw an advertisement the other day on tv where apparently a company can clone a deceased pet. I was a little shocked and honestly a little disturbed, like I almost didn’t believe what I was hearing. So if it’s possible to clone a pet, what are the implications for, humans?
