How long will it be before a scientist clones a human? In this provocative magazine-style program, Dr. Ian Wilmut, of Dolly fame; Don Wolf, from the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center; Richard Strohman, Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley; and additional experts on bioethics, law, genetics, philosophy, and anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University, and the University of California, Davis, examine the facts, the fears, and the likely future of cloning. Possible applications, inevitable legal ramifications, and probable abuse of genetic technologies associated with cloning are investigated. The program also debunks concerns over the creation of Xerox-like zombies and raises startling questions about paternity. (21 minutes)
