    Playing God?
    2025/06/19
    This episode tackles the thorniest ethical questions surrounding animal cloning. We explore religious objections about "playing God," animal welfare concerns over low success rates and health problems in clones, and philosophical debates about identity and individuality. The episode examines how cloning commodifies life, creates new forms of genetic inequality, and affects our relationships with animals. We investigate feminist critiques of reproductive exploitation, cultural differences in cloning acceptance, and the psychological toll on professionals involved in the process. From genetic ownership disputes to environmental implications, this episode reveals why cloning remains one of biotechnology's most controversial frontiers.
