Genethics: The Ethics of Engineering Life - Hardcover
In this account of the development of human genetics written for non-scientists, the authors describe the story behind the scientific breakthrough and introduce the reader to the scientists who pioneered the work, examining its potential applications. They describe a world teeming with its own complexities, mysteries and surprises, and provide the reader with a clearer understanding of a controversial area of scientific research which has been greeted as heralding a promise of a better world, or vilified for leading to a nightmare age of genetic manipulation.
