Love and Redemption

by Edward Vasta

Legally, clones are 'human replicates'...duplicates. But is it possible to raise one with love and a divine soul? Today Stanley Littlefield, a genetic scientist, is about to begin the life for which he believes his own life was truly ordained. If his secret project succeeds, the consequences-both to himself and humankind-are enormous. For years, clones have been created by GenComp. But Stanley has something completely different in mind. What if he cloned himself-not as a male, but as a female? What if he was able to sneak her out of the artwomb and secretly raise her as his beloved offspring? How could he live with his 'twin' out in the world? And what if someone found out? A poignant journey through the ethics of genetics and cloning by Dr. Edward Vasta (Ph.D, Stanford), professor at Notre Dame for 40 years.
