Summary:

Cloning of Frogs, Mice, and Other Animals was first published as Cloning: A Biologist Reports in 1979 and was reissued under the present title in 1985. When cell biologist Robert McKinnell first wrote his layman's guide to cloning in 1979, no creature higher than a frog had been successfully cloned. In the years since then, scientific advances have made mammalian clones a reality -- cloned mice have been reported from laboratories using two different techniques. In this revised edition of Cloning: A Biologist Reports, McKinnell explains the process of mammalian cloning and discusses its import
