"Leonardo's Choice: Genetic Technologies and Animals" is an
edited collection of twelve essays and one dialogue focusing on the
profound affect the use of animals in biotechnology is having on
both humans and other species. Communicating crucial understandings
of the integrated nature of the human and non-human world, these
essays, unlike the majority of discussions of biotechnology, take
seriously the impact of these technologies on animals themselves.
This collection's central questions revolve around the
disassociation Western ideas of creative freedom have from the
impacts those ideas and practices have on the non-human world.
"This transdisciplinary collection includes perspectives from
the disciplines of philosophy, cultural theory, art and literary
theory, history and theory of science, environmental studies, law,
landscape architecture, history, and geography. Included authors
span three continents and four countries."
"Included essays contribute significantly to a growing
scholarship surrounding "the question of the animal" emanating from
philosophical, cultural and activist discourses. Its authors are at
the forefront of the growing number of theorists and practitioners
across the disciplines concerned with the impact of new
technologies on the more-than-human world."
