"In this timely book, Professor Gregory Pence fights fire with fire, transforming Orphan Black from hit series into bioethics and philosophy text. His thoughtful analysis of cloning fact and fiction draws upon a wealth of scientific and sociological research. Professors and students alike will enjoy this rich and entertaining book." --Kerry Lynn Macintosh, professor of law, Santa Clara University "Medical ethics expert and science fiction aficionado Gregory Pence has written a wonderful book that is both a captivating read as well as highly educational. . . . I highly recommend this for inclusion in your personal dinner table conversation starter kit, student reading materials or simply as a book to read on your next long flight or at the beach. Buy it, you won't regret it!" --Udo Schuklenk, PhD, professor of philosophy and Ontario Research Chair in Bioethics

Synopsis
What is the real-world history and science of human cloning, and does Orphan Black get it right? Can you "own" a person--even a cloned one? How can Sarah Manning be straight, Cosima gay, and Tony trans? Cult hit sci-fi show Orphan Black doesn't just entertain--it also raises fascinating questions about human cloning, its ethics, and its impact on personal identity. In What We Talk About When We Talk About Clone Club: Bioethics and Philosophy in Orphan Black , prominent bioethicist Gregory E. Pence violates Clone Club's first rule to take us deeper into the show and its connections to the real world, including: Widespread myths about human clones (and Orphan Black 's rejection of them) Our ugly history of eugenics The ethics of human experimentation, by way of Projects Castor and Leda What we can learn about clones and identity from twin studies and tensions among Orphan Black 's clone "sisters" Kendall Malone and other genetic anomalies The brave new world of genetic enhancement and clonal dynasties, and how Helena and Kira Manning fit in In the process, What We Talk About When We Talk About Clone Club reveals why Orphan Black is some of today's most engaging and thought-provoking television., What is the real-world history and science of human cloning, and how closely does Orphan Black nail it? Can you "own" a person--even a cloned one? How can Sarah Manning be straight, Cosima gay, and Tony trans? Cult hit sci-fi show Orphan Black doesn't just entertain--it also raises fascinating questions about human cloning, its ethics, and its impact on personal identity.

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (N° 197064259889)
