Rorvik brings the issue into the public arena and asks the more important question: should cloning be done? He presents his thoughts, those of Darwin and other respected scientists in a haphazard fashion, reflecting the uncertainties in his mind as he formulates the decision to seek out a researcher and go ahead with the cloning...
