Human cloning, once confined to the realm of scientific imagination, is rapidly evolving from theory to possibility. Playing God: The Moral Dilemma of Human Cloning offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of cloning and its implications for science, society, ethics, law, and human identity.

Structured in five parts and twenty-seven meticulously researched chapters, this seminal work bridges biotechnology and bioethics to examine:

  • The scientific foundations of cloning and genomic replication
  • Cutting-edge genetic engineering and CRISPR technologies
  • Historical milestones like Dolly the Sheep and their enduring legacies
  • Global legal frameworks, policy controversies, and religious perspectives
  • The socio-cultural, psychological, and human rights dimensions
  • Future scenarios at the intersection of innovation and ethical precaution
Through rigorous scholarship and balanced analysis, Playing God illuminates how cloning challenges fundamental notions of human dignity, individuality, family, identity, and societal values - compelling readers to grapple with not just what we can do, but what we ought to do.

This book is essential reading for students, researchers, policymakers, bioethicists, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking a deep, global perspective on one of the most consequential debates of the 21st century.
