"An interesting and provocative book discussing not only the
scientific background of human cloning but also proposed
legislation to ban or limit human cloning as well as constitutional
challenges to such legislation. Anyone interested in this timely
legal issue will want to know John Kunich's analysis and argument
as to why he believes that the modern case law may place important
limits on efforts to ban cloning."-Ronald D. Rotunda George Mason
University Foundation Professor of Law George Mason University
"John Kunich has written an astoundingly fascinating, important,
and compelling book that every civilized person must read."-Harvey
A. Silverglate Partner, Silverglate & Good, Attorneys, Boston

America's Campuses (HarperPerennial, 1999)
"The Naked Clone not only provides a systematic introduction to
this vital topic, but more importantly, makes a cogent argument
against ill-considered bans on cloning. Professor Kunich brings
insightful analysis to a topic usually swamped by emotion and
prejudice."-Daniel A. Farber McKnight Presidential Professor of
Public Law, Henry J. Fletcher Professor of Law, and Associate Dean
for Faculty Research University of Minnesota
?[J]ohn C. Kunich's well-written and very accessible The Naked
Clone provides an honest and refreshing advocacy for reproductive
cloning....[K]unich has articulated a cogent, comprehensively
researched argument that is a good primer for those who might
otherwise not consider the legal issues surrounding reproductive
cloning.?-Harvard Journal of Law & Technology
?[T]he reader is provided with an understanding of how legislation
banning or restricting cloning may affect constitutional
rights....[t]his book is an excellent challenge to understand the
legal issues underlying the cloning debate. Kunich addresses First
Amendment protection for cloning research itself, as well as
research as a necessary precursor to protected speech.
Additionally, he addresses how reproductive cloning should be
protected as a procreative liberty, and analyzed with abortion and
contraception cases in mind. The Naked Clone will be most valuable
to the reader who is trying to understand the possible
constitutional crisis created by anti-cloning legislation in its
current form.?-Journal of Law & Family Studies
?[T]he Naked Clone is a valuable work for anyone interested in the
collision of politics and cuttin-edge science. It is one of the few
books that make a bold, impassioned plea for moralistic politicans
to cease standing athwart science, yelling, "Stop!" Such a
commonsense viewpoint deserves to be more widely heard. In fact,
one could say that it deserves to be cloned.?-Libertarian Party

?Kunich leaves his readers with a keener understanding of the
cloning debate, allowing them to grasp the core concepts while
maintaining their interest and focus with his straightforward
explanations.?-Journal of Legislation and Public Policy
