Description

Le clonage humain est-il souhaitable en certaines circonstances ? Faut-il au contraire l'interdire complètement et à jamais ? C'est " une véritable révolution scientifique, technique, épistémologique, sociale et politique " qu'a provoquée la naissance en 1996 du premier animal issu du clonage d'une cellule adulte, affirme Axel Kahn dans la préface qu'il a écrite à cet ouvrage... Ian Wilmut, " père " scientifique de la brebis Dolly, nous plonge ici dans l'univers de la recherche fondamentale en matière de reproduction. Ovules, spermatozoïdes, embryons... Le biologiste nous fait pénétrer dans le secret de nos cellules. Il guide aussi notre réflexion éthique : opposé à la naissance de bébés clonés, mais fervent partisan du clonage thérapeutique, il précise les avancées médicales que le clonage apporterait dans le combat contre de nombreuses maladies - Alzheimer, Parkinson, diabète, voire cancer.
