Product Details

Product Description

Review

A highly accessible introduction to the scientific, moral, and political questions surrounding cloning. (CHOICE )

Original. (Forecast )

Flesh of My Flesh distinguishes itself from the multitude of 'cloning' books on the market. An enjoyable overview of the ethics of cloning. . . . A good introduction to the subject. (Bulletin Of Medical Ethics )

The volume is a very useful one for the general reader and the specialist in bioethics. The essays are accessible and highly instructive. Anyone interested in recent developments in reproductive technologies will find it engaging. (Gabriel Palmer-Fernndez Religious Studies Review )

This collection of papers is well suited to anyone wanting a diverse set of accessible opinions about human cloning. (Christian Perring, Ph.D )

A well-edited and invaluable resource for those who want to develop a comprehensive and rationally defendable ethical position on the issue of cloning humans. (Ethical Theory and Moral Practice )

Book Description

The first book of its kind, Flesh of My Flesh is a collection of articles by today's most respected scientists, philosophers, bioethicists, theologians, and law professors about whether we should allow human cloning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for high school students, Oct 30 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Flesh of My Flesh: The Ethics of Cloning Humans A Reader (Paperback)
My son and I bought five anthologies on cloning for his science fair project,including the ones by McGee, Cole-Turner, and McCuen. If you want the ideas of all the world religions (pretty murky) get McGee's. Cole-Turner also has a lot, maybe too much, of religon. McCuen's just isn't very good. I liked FLESH OF MY FLESH because it has pieces in it by my sons hero, Stephen Jay Gould, and the conclusions from the National Bioethics Commission's Report (which condemned cloning). Pence's overview is also excellent. If you're just buying one book with lots of articles, and want the pro-science pieces and not the anti-religion ones, this is the one to go for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book, Aug 10 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Flesh of My Flesh: The Ethics of Cloning Humans A Reader (Paperback)
We used this book in my adult class in church, and it changed my mind about a few things. I found the articles on both sides compelling.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but not great, Mar 20 1999
This review is from: Flesh of My Flesh: The Ethics of Cloning Humans A Reader (Paperback)
This book is a pretty nice collection of works concerning the ethical implications and questions surrounding cloning human beings. Some of the articles were less than convincing. However, most are well written, espcially the author's (Gregory Pence)article. All in all pretty good, but if you are going to read just one book on cloning, The Human Cloning Debate by Glenn McGee is better.
