Absolute genius! Professor Kunich takes a look at all the nonsense swirling around human cloning, and rips the mask off of it. With brilliant clarity and insight, this book exposes the many fallacies riddling the anti-cloning movement. Most important of all, Kunich's book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that if the government bans cloning, some of our most precious civil liberties may be next. This is a book for the ages, but especially our age.

This is a great book on human cloning. Finally, someone takes a stand and fights back against the idiocy! The people who oppose cloning don't understand it. The Naked Clone is a must read for anyone interested in human cloning and its technology, which will help cure mankind of many horrible illnesses, and which will bring about many medical miracles. Attorney Kunich's inside look at the law is the most compelling reason to read the book.

The subject matter is human freedom, and this book is one which raises fundamental issues about the freedoms of man in relation to cloning. If freedom and cloning are subjects of concern, a more appropriate read cannot be found. The book is fascinating, bold and powerful, one of the most important books about the cloning controversy. You may agree or disagree with the author on his conclusions but you'll never be bored for a minute.

We have freedoms now that scarcely existed five hundred years ago or even one hundred years ago. A century from now new freedoms or aspects of freedoms will exist. These new freedoms, like the old ones, will have to be won through the efforts of people like John C. Kunich.

William C. O'Rights

The Naked Clone is a thoughtful, illuminating and provocative book on a subject that implicates an extraordinary array of ethical, legal and constitutional issues. Whether or not one agrees with the author that reproductive cloning is linked to a broad network of vital personal autonomy rights, the reader is bound to come away with a much more informed and reasoned view of a highly emotional and much-misunderstood subject.

Yale Kamisar, Clarence Darrow Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan Law School.

The Naked Clone not only provides a systematic introduction to this vital topic, but more importantly, makes a cogent argument against ill-considered bans on cloning. Professor Kunich brings insightful analysis to a topic usually swamped by emotion and prejudice.

Daniel A. Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law, University of California at Berkeley School of Law, Boalt Hall.

This is an interesting and provocative book discussing not only the scientific background of human cloning but also proposed legislation to ban or limit human cloning as well as constitutional challenges to such legislation. Anyone interested in this legal issue will want to know John Kunich's analysis and argument as to why the modern case law may place important limits on efforts to ban cloning.

I have known John personally for many years. I remember our discussion on my back patio about cloning and the issues it brought to the forefront of society as a whole. Wow, did he open my eyes. His insights are genius. Get this book and enjoy your next dinner party with your own new found ideas this book will generate for you.
