There can be few more controversial and emotive issues in science today than genetic engineering and, in particular, the release of genetically engineered organisms into the environment. Written by Professor John Fincham and other members of a working party commissioned by the Council for Science and Society, this book describes the current state-of-the-art of genetic engineering and surveys all the important areas in which engineered organisms are, or could be, employed. The book then goes on to examine the risks involved, discusses the management of risk and maintenance of public confidence. Written at a level suitable for anyone with a basic background knowledge of biology and genetics, this book aims to provide an introduction to this crucial debate.
