Were revere scientific progress... We also fear that progress, its capacity for transgression in a field that the layperson struggles to understand. The new Netflix documentary King of Clones presents a smart look at this dichotomy.

A primer on the rise and fall of Hwang, a former superstar who currently plies his genetics trade in the United Arab Emirates.

Mr. Thayi doesn’t tell a straightforward version of the Hwang story, because he’s after more -- the story of cloning itself, which will be enlightening for those of us on the fringes of science.

King of Clones is a worthwhile watch that will leave you with many moral and ethical questions.
