Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

Someday soon (if it has not happened already in secret), the first cloned human being will be born and mankind will embark on a scientific and moral journey whose destination cannot be foretold. In a lucid and engaging narrative, Judith Klotzko explains that the technology to create clones of living beings already exists, inaugurated in 1996 by Dolly, the sheep, the first mammal clone formed from a single adult cell. The human fascination with cloning goes beyond science and its extraordinary medical implications. In riveting prose full of allusions to art, music, and theatre, Klotzko explains why the prospect of human cloning triggers our deepest hopes and our darkest fears and forces us to ponder what it would mean to have a "clone of our own."
