Every day, newspapers and television news programs present stories
on the latest controversies over healthcare and medical advances,
but they do not have the space to provide detailed background on
the issues. Websites and weblogs provide information from activists
and partisans intent on presenting their side of a story. But where
can students - or even ordinary citizens - go to obtain unbiased,
detailed background on the medical issues affecting their daily
lives? This volume in the Health and Medical Issues Today series
provides readers and researchers a balanced, in-depth introduction
to the medical, scientific, legal, and cultural issues surrounding
gene therapy and its import in today's world of healthcare. Gene
Therapy is organized to provide researchers with easy access to the
information they need: BLSection 1 provides overview chapters on
the background information needed to intelligently understand the
issues and controversies surrounding gene therapy, such as the
history of theories of the gene and recent developments in clinical
trials BLSection 2 offers capsule examinations of the contemporary
issues and debates that provoke the most heated disagreements and
misunderstandings, such as whether or not humans should "tinker"
with genetic material and who pays for genetic therapies. BLSection
3 includes reference material on stem cells, including primary
source documents from important players in the struggle over gene
therapy, a timeline of important events, and an annotated
bibliography of useful print and electronic resources. This volume
in the Health and Medical Issues Today series provides everything a
student requires to understand the issues involved in gene
therapyand provides a springboard for further research into the
issue.
