Summary: An Outstanding Science Book: Should Be Read By Everyone
Review: This exciting new book by Dr. Michael West tells the story of stem cell research, nuclear transfer, telomeres, the resetting of the biological clock in somatic cells and much more! As a biologist I found his first hand account interesting and informative! Biotechnology is on the cusp of a bold new age in medicine that could alleviate so much human suffering. Where will these new discoveries lead us and how will we choose to use them? These are just a few of the questions Dr. West takes on in this book. This book should be required reading for everyone especially those who oppose all cloning. This is one of the most exciting books published this year. I could not put this book down and devoured it in three days. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about science and especially genetics.

Summary: Harry Potter in science field
Review: Usually science books are hard to read, but this book isn't at all. This is a gHarry Potterh in science field: an ups-and-downs autobiography of a scientist who wants to cure diseases using the technology of the immortal cells. He met many difficulties, but with his ideas and strenuous efforts and also with the aids of his friends he has overcome them one by one. As we read the book, we have virtual experiences of what he has done, and without any efforts become acquainted with the cell biology and the therapeutic use of the rejuvenated cells. This technology will be able to cure many diseases in near future, ONLY IF the research is not banned but supported. I would recommend this book to anyone who is concerned with diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, and so on.
