How to Grow a Human: Adventures in Who We Are and How We Are Made - Philip Ball - 3 Stars

[Jason]

As much as I love science, biology is not my favorite but I really enjoyed this book.

This book is about cell biology, the history of cell biology, and the advancements of cell biology while also looking at the morality and practicality of these advancements.

There were a few parts that I did not fully grasp, since my knowledge of cell biology is limited, but I appreciate what I learned. The advancements of cell biology seem to be on the verge of some phenomenal discoveries but they come at potential moral dilemmas, such as using stem cells to grow human organs inside other animals.

A good read. I would like this more if I had a better foundation for cell biology but he passed my knowledge after the chapter about what we learn about cells in school.
