@ CONCEIVING A CLONE: http://library.advanced.org/24355/home.html
@ The Details: Here is all the information you'll ever need on cloning and
biotechnology. Follow the development of cloning on the timeline, learn of
the various techniques used to create clones, view animations of important
processes, and read about scientists whose accomplishments have made clon-
ing a reality. http://library.advanced.org/24355/data/detailsnav.html
@ Reactions: The recent cloning developments fostered a large scale debate
on the morality & ethics of duplicating humans and other creatures. Here
you can learn about common cloning misconceptions, views from both sides
of the cloning debate, and what the government is doing to prevent human
cloning research. http://library.advanced.org/24355/data/reactionsnav.html
@ Interactions: After learning about cloning and related biotechnology, step
into our cloning discussions & let your views be known. Or enter our sci-
ence lab and perform your own cloning experiment on the web. If you feel
you are a cloning expert, test your knowledge by taking our cloning
questionnaire. http://library.advanced.org/24355/data/interactionsnav.html
