Science writer Gina Kolata, who broke the cloning story in the New York Times, provides an account of the cloning of Dolly with all its exciting and alarming implications. Kolata describes the strange history of cloning, which began rather unpromisingly 60 years ago when Hans Speamann severed a salamander embryo in two using a hair from his newborn baby's head. Kolata, a trained micro-biologist, looks into the scientific implications of subsequent progress, all leading to Ian Wilmut's breakthrough with Dolly.
