In July 1993, a scientific event made front-page news: the
discovery that genetics plays a significant role in determining
homosexuality. In The Science of Desire, Dean Hamer -- the
scientist behind the groundbreaking study -- tells the inside story
of how the discovery was made and what it means, not only for our
understanding of sexuality, but for human behavior in general.
In this accessible and remarkably clear book, Dean Hamer expands
on the account of his history-making research to explore the
scientific, social, and ethical issues raised by his findings. Dr.
Hamer addresses such tough questions as whether it would be
possible or ethical to test in utero for the gay gene; whether
genetic manipulation could or should be used to alter a person's
sexuality; and how a gay gene could have survived evolution.
A compelling behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge scientific
inquiry, as well as a brilliant examination of the ramifications of
genetic research, The Science of Desire is a lasting resource in
the increasingly significant debate over the role that genetics
plays in our lives.
