Bring
in the Clones
If you could clone
yourself – or clone a loved one – would you do it? This
fascinating novel takes a look into the future and what could
happen if cloning is an option.
The questions the book asks are compelling
and the scenario is very possible. I’m You or, The Clone and
I provides a breathtaking look into what our world may
become.
Twenty years in the future, Dr. Harry Saul
agrees to be cloned. But the experiment takes on a life of its
own, and Harry soon finds that it totally re-shapes his life and
his character. The fertilized test-tube egg is implanted into
Pam Rubin, a lesbian psychiatrist. But in the embryo stage, the
parents learn their cloned child will be vulnerable to
schizophrenia.
Harassed by the government for their daring
attempt at cloning, the two doctors take refuge in the Army.
Harry becomes an Army flight surgeon, a perilous and varied
career, serving in the thick of a near war with China, a typhoid
epidemic, and is marooned on an Alaskan glacier, loving every
minute.
Despite their problems, Pam and Harry forge a
loving relationship. But their cloned son, Phil, does become
schizophrenic. In a desperate effort to cure his son, Harry
volunteers himself as a donor in a mind-transfer experiment.
This scary look into the future will keep you enthralled until
the very last page.
