Cloning has the potential to be an extremely valuable tool across many fields. In agriculture, the reproductive cloning of farm animals could prove to be advantageous. In clinical medicine, the employment of therapeutic cloning for cell, tissue, and organ replacement appears to be imminent. In Epigenetic Risks of Cloning, 32 leading researchers detail the cloning methods being employed with... Read more

Biography
Akio Inui
“… takes a look at several of the success stories of somatic cell transplantation and assesses realistically how successful these attempts have been in the contest of the epigenetic effects on the viability and health of cloned animals. The volume is a collection of ten chapters, nine of which discuss aspects of animal cloning from the perspective of different animal systems. … the chapters in this volume are scholarly and carefully written. … includes a description of the technology involved in cloning or ART and then a discussion of the epigenetic risks involved in such technology. …”
