Genetics and Ethics: An Interdisciplinary Study

Rating:
Summary: A seminal compilation of essays
Review: Anthologized and edited by Gerard Magill (Executive Director and Department Chair, Center for Health Care Ethics, Saint Louis University), Genetics And Ethics: An Interdisciplinary Study is a seminal compilation of essays contributed by a variety of learned authors, which collectively grapple with the ethical issues of genetics technology, ranging from cultural and social issues, to the legal, policy, and business impact of the modern genetics revolution. Uncovering revelations and "wake-up" calls with regard to the burgeoning new possibilities and its potential uses/misuses, Genetics And Ethics is highly recommended reading for non-specialist general readers and academic scholars with interests in the ethical ramifications of the rapidly evolving applied science and technologies of genetics.
