REVIEWS
“She invites us to consider whether we will become less human, if robots will become more human and which is the more alarming prospect.”

Book Review of Robots and the People Who Love Them
“Dazzling…an eye-opening description of scientific transhumanism that may provoke older readers to curse themselves for being born a few decades to early.”

“Eve Herold is a modern-day Edward R. Murrow…She’s everywhere at once: behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, beside the scientists and the suffering patients they hope to save, even to South Korea where a fraud of historic proportions threatened to end the great promise of regenerative medicine. Her sympathies are unwaveringly with the patients whose stories are the warm heart of this timely and disturbing book.”

“Herold is an eyewitness to history. She chronicles the battle of patients and researchers to advance the greatest medical breakthrough of our lifetimes in this highly readable account of the rancorous public policy debate that has become the #1 wedge issue in American politics. As part of the chronicle of the world stem cell debate, Herold presents the inside story of Woo Suk Hwang and the Korean cloning scandal, and supplies the shocking details about the misconduct that rocked all of medical science.”

“Eve Herold’s book is a forthright and compelling declaration of the immensely promising potential of stem cell research. Using clear logic and emotionally evocative accounts of patients in need, Herold makes an impassioned and convincing case for increased stem cell research funding.”
