Beskrivning
The fact that a single embryo can split to generate two (or more) genetically identical embryos seems to defy the notion that prior to splitting an embryo can be a single human individual. Maureen Condic looks at the questions raised by human twinning based on a unique synthesis of molecular developmental biology and Aristotelian philosophy.

Recensioner i media

"In this monograph, Condic offers an extensively referenced examination of the biological basis of human individuality. . . . The text will clarify biological concepts and ethical considerations for those who share Condic's interpretation of sperm-egg fusion as the start of human life, and for those who have reached a different conclusion." —Choice"This book brings more biological knowledge to the philosophical discussion of twinning than any other that I know of." —Christopher Tollefsen, author of Lying and Christian Ethics"Maureen L. Condic is a gifted scientist and writer, exhibiting both a mastery of the science as well as a conversance with the philosophical issues." —Francis J. Beckwith, author of Taking Rites Seriously
