Reviews

Gr 8 UpThis series entry explores the positives and negatives of experimenting on animals and humans, gene therapy, organ donation and transplant, and cloning. Each debate begins with a quote that sums up the position the argument will take. Points of view are objectively presented and could be catalysts for lively class discussions. However, the format has some flaws. The lengthy appendix includes time lines, a graph, a sample Uniform Donor Card, and primary-source material such as the Nuremberg Code but there is no indication in the text that they are included, and they are not listed in the index. Study questions for each chapter are in the appendix rather than immediately preceding or following the chapter. Black-and-white photographs appear throughout. The material has been well researched and documented, but students will probably experience some degree of frustration trying to access it.Marilyn Fairbanks, East Junior High School, Brockton, MA
