Product Description
Over the past decade, discussions about genetic engineering have spread from research laboratories to the national news. Indeed, as technology rapidly advances, genetic engineering is becoming one of the most-talked-about issues of our time. Supporters and opponents of genetic engineering agree that it has the potential to change our lives more than any other technological advance. The authors of this timely book, a biologist and a philosopher, combine their considerable expertise to examine the implications of genetic engineering for the future of our everyday lives. Written in a clear, nontechnical style, this book delves thoroughly into the biological and ethical considerations we must confront in the face of genetic engineering technology. In every chapter, the authors tackle hot-button issues such as the possible consequences of genetic engineering of plants, animals, and humans, and the justification for improving upon nature. Readers of Improving Nature? will emerge soundly informed of the issue of genetic engineering and fascinated by its possibilities.
