Human cloning

[David Goldfarb]

Not a literary text, but you might look at the excellent dissertation
of William de Jong Lambert (Teachers College, Columbia U., 2005) on
the ideological uses of Lysenkoism in Poland, and any articles he's
published on the subject (I know there is at least one in EEPS).
Here's an abstract--

It's fascinating and sometimes bizarre stuff.  One of the more curious
experiments he describes involved grafting four oak trees together
into a phalanx, on the theory that the community was stronger than the
individual.  For oak trees the theory failed miserably.

He is teaching in the History Dept. at Bronx Community College (CUNY)
last I checked.
