The cloning of animal species for the purposes of animal research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical production, and agriculture is becoming increasingly common. The cloning of animals using adult somatic cells has opened new avenues of investigation in basic and clinical sciences. Although cloned animals have been born successfully, the safety and long-term adverse health effects remain to be investigated. Health Consequences of Cloning provides valuable information on the integrity of cloned cells and tissues, thus of the health of the animal in general. Drawing on expertise from Japan, the USA, and Europe, this timely volume can help clarify the debate surrounding cloned animals.

Reviews for Epigenetic Risks of Cloning

“… takes a look at several of the success stories of somatic cell transplantation and assesses realistically how successful these attempts have been in the contest of the epigenetic effects on the viability and health of cloned animals. The volume is a collection of ten chapters, nine of which discuss aspects of animal cloning from the perspective of different animal systems. … the chapters in this volume are scholarly and carefully written. … includes a description of the technology involved in cloning or ART and then a discussion of the epigenetic risks involved in such technology. …” — Rob DeSalle, Institute for Comparative Genomics, American Museum of Natural history, New York, in The Quartely Review of Biology, 2006
