The Human Clone
You may have heard that Professor Severino Antinori, the controversial embryologist, was con-
sidering leaving Italy – where cloning experiments are banned – to settle in a country where he could
legally work on his dream project: the making of a human clone. The consequences of such a feat
are sure to be immense. As the American Jeremy Rifkin writes in the Biotech Century, “Our way
of life is likely to be more fundamentally transformed in the next few decades than in the previous
thousand years.
By the year 2025, we and our children may be living in a world completely different from anything
human beings have ever experienced in the past.”
