Less than one year after a baby sheep was cloned from an adult sheep, a scientist in Chicago named Richard Seed has announced that he plans on opening a clinic in the next 90 days to clone human babies. Seed is a physicist who was involved with fertility research in the '80s. NPR science correspondent Joe Palca broke the story about the planned human cloning clinic.

A new book called "Clone" looks at the scientific breakthroughs that made Dolly the cloned sheep possible. The book also examines the ethical debate around cloning. The author is Gina Kolata, who's a science reporter for the New York Times.
