Synthetic Biology is already an object of intensive debate.
However, to a great extent the discussion to date has been
concerned with fundamental ethical, religious and philosophical
questions. By contrast, based on an investigation of the field's
scientific and technological character, this book focuses on new
functionalities provided by synthetic biology and explores the
associated opportunities and risks. Following an introduction to
the subject and a discussion of the most central paradigms and
methodologies, the book provides an overview of the structure of
this field of science and technology. It informs the reader about
the current stage of development, as well as topical problems and
potential opportunities in important fields of application. But not
only the science itself is in focus. In order to investigate its
broader impact, ecological as well as ethical implications will be
considered, paving the way for a discussion of responsibilities in
the context of a field at a transitional crossroads between basic
and applied science. In closing, the requirements for a suitable
regulatory framework are discussed. The book is intended as a
source of information and orientation for researchers, students and
practitioners in the natural sciences and technology assessment;
for members of scientific and technological, governmental and
funding institutions; and for members of the general public
interested in essential information on the current status,
prospects and implications of synthetic biology.
