In effect, he is proposing the creation of genetically altered humans. Dolly's birth also unleashed an avalanche of speculation about the eventuality of cloning babies, which Wilmut strongly opposes. However, he does believe that scientists should one day be allowed to combine the cloning of human embryos with genetic modification to free families from serious hereditary disease.

From Publishers Weekly In 1997 the world was surprised to learn that scientists had cloned the first mammal, a sheep named Dolly. 20 b&w illus. All rights reserved.
