This week: "Growing Up a Clone--The Psychology of Reproductive

others suggest our moral sensibilities will hold us back even when the
technology is ripe. But whatever our brave future holds for us,
ethicists are already asking what it might be like to grow up a clone?
Can we predict what the social and psychological impacts of being born
a ‘mini-me’ will be – an exact genetic copy of just one other? From
identical twins and stepchildren to the progeny of famous parents,
Psychiatrist Stephen Levick and other guests join Natasha Mitchell, and
embark on a remarkable thought experiment to find out. [T;%]

***********IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week
Michelle Field is in conversation with Kathleen Taylor, who studies

use their brains, to resist brain-washing messages, allowing us to
think for ourselves. Nevertheless, she's amazed at how often we fail to
question messages of advertisers, and governments. Her next task is to
describe belief in a biological way. It's simply a connection between
neurons and so we should be able to describe it. She says the privacy
beneath our skulls is the last frontier and is slowly being opened up.
