But I'd be willing to bet that more people were introduced to the concept of cloning from reading or watching Jurassic Park than from the news stories and academic papers that have followed the research for years. He performs a service when he acts on his belief that science is too important to leave to the scientists and he invites a mass audience irresistibly into some of the Most Important Conversations...
