The following is one form that such a visualization might take: * Associate Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame. This is an edited version of remarks that Professor Robinson made at a conference on cloning and the law, sponsored by the Notre Dame Alumni Association, in Washington, D.C. in November of 1998.
