OverviewWhat makes a person who they are This is one of the fundamental questions of human life. Scientists of the 21st century have made rapid advances in cloning and editing human DNA and cells even if their understanding of how human characteristics are shaped is still relatively new. In Cloning Humans readers will learn about three life-changing pieces of genetic technology from therapeutic cloning to embryonic gene editing. By exploring these innovations and how they work students will expand their learning of biology genetics and other STEM fields.

Each title offers an attention-grabbing introduction that reads like the opening scene of a science fiction film. There are high- and low-tech examples of STEM modifications to the body, from wearables that track sleep patterns to designer babies. The historical time lines list advances and discoveries in science and pair well with the spotlighted individuals who are not only scientists, but also cancer survivors and celebrities. Topical breakdowns in highlighted chapter sections clearly indicate how each concept uses science, technology, engineering, and math individually rather than as a general catchall of STEM. Biohackers is the benchmark for the series. It discusses ethics, laws, and personal safety alongside cutting-edge ideas, such as electronic implants. VERDICT Teens and tweens will appreciate the futuristic ideas in this series on STEM and the body. --School Library Journal -- Journal (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM) """Teens and tweens will appreciate the futuristic ideas in this series on STEM and the body.""--School Library Journal -- (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)" This series explores the future possibilities of STEM advances.
