Flesh of My Flesh: The Ethics of Cloning Humans : A Reader

Rating:
Summary: Good book for high school students
Review: 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.

Summary: Pretty good, but not great
Review: 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.

Summary: Pretty good book
Review: 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.
