Explores the ethics of human cloning, reproductive technology and the teleology of sexuality from two perspectives which both fundamentally distrust the notion of cloning, but for differing reasons. The volume is intended to inform the public policy debate on permissible genetic research. Today, biological science is rising on a wall of worry. No other science has advanced more dramatically during the past several decades, nor yielded so many palpable improvements in human welfare. Yet none except nuclear physics has aroused greater apprehensions among the general public and leaders in such diverse fields as religion, the humanities and government. In this volume, Leon R. Kass, a teacher, scientist and humanist, and James Q. Wilson, a political scientist to whom four US presidents have turned for advice on crime, drug abuse, education and other crises in American life, explore the ethics of human cloning, reproductive technology and the teleology of human sexuality. Although in their dialogue, both authors share a fundamental distrust of the notion of human cloning, they base their reticence on different views of the role of sexual reproduction and the role of the family. Professor Kass contends that in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproduction techniques that place the origin of human life in human hands have eroded the respect for the mystery of sexuality and human renewal. Professor Wilson, in contrast, asserts that whether a human life is created naturally or artificially is immaterial as long as the child is raised by loving parents in a two-parent family and is not harmed by the means of its conception. The volume is intended to inform the public policy debate over the permissible conduct of genetic research and the permissible uses of its discoveries.

Cloning - few words have as much potential to grip our imagination or grab the headlines. No longer the stuff of science fiction or Star Wars - it is happening now. Yet human cloning is currently banned throughout the world, and therapeutic cloning banned in many countries. In this highly controversial book, John Harris does a lot more than ask why we are so afraid of cloning. He presents a deft and informed defence of human cloning, carefully exposing the rhetorical and highly dubious arguments against it. He begins with an introduction to what a human clone is, before tackling some of the most common and frequently bizarre criticisms of cloning: Is it really wicked? Can we regulate it? What about the welfare of cloned children? Does it turn human beings into commodities? Dismissing one by one some of the myths about human cloning, in particular that it is degrading and unsafe, he astutely argues that some of our most cherished values, such as the freedom to start a family and the freedom from state control, actually support the case for human cloning. Offering a brave and lucid insight into this ethical minefield, John Harris at last shows that far from ending the diversity of human life or creating a race of super-clones, cloning has the power to improve and heal human life. In this gripping and controversial book, John Harris presents a deft and informed defence of human cloning.

De mogelijkheid om een perfecte genetische kopie van een mens te maken was louter sciencefiction, totdat onlangs bekend werd dat in Schotland een volwassen schaap met succes 'gekloneerd' is. Het resultaat daarvan, het zeven maanden oude lam Dolly, was onmiddelijk voorpaginanieuws. Wat is kloneren, en wat betekent deze doorbraak in de biotechnologie voor ons? Zal het bijvoorbeeld mogelijk worden dat ouders van een jong gestorven kind een genetische kopie krijgen? Of dat je een reservekopie van jezelf laat maken, ten behoeve van orgaantransplantatie? En wat te denken van het Jurassic Park-scenario: het opnieuw tot leven roepen van uitgestorven soorten? Het lijkt erop dat zulke mogelijkheden minder ver weg zijn dan we dachten, en het is duidelijk dat hierover een intensief debat gevoerd moet worden, waarin zeker niet alleen de wetenschap een stem heeft. Politici, beleidsmakers en gewone burgers zullen zich moeten beraden op de maatschappelijke gevolgen.
