Philip Ball delves beneath the surface of the cultural history of anthropoesis, the artificial creation of people, to explore what it tells us about our views on life, humanity, creativity and technology, and the soul. He argues that to call something unnatural is to make a moral judgement that has its origins in religious thought.
