Altered Genes II: The Future?

Altered Genes II: The Future?

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This revised and updated edition contains provocative and challenging essays from Australian and New Zealand specialists that address ethical, social, and ecological problems arising from biotechnology and genetic engineering. This collection challenges society's supposed acceptance of genetic engineering. Though promising much, emerging technology also threatens to disrupt evolution and usher in new forms of social control. This book is essential reading for those uncomfortable with developments in this area.
