From viruses to humans, each organism on earth is made up of genes
that provide a blueprint to how that organism functions. As
technology and science have progressed, so too have the depth and
extent of biotechnology and genetic engineering. The use of
biotechnology and genetic engineering has implications on all
aspects of life - from the foods people eat to the way diseases are
treated. As scientists and researchers discover more about this
emerging field, moral concerns become a heated topic for people who
question just how far this technology should reach.""Biotechnology
and Genetic Engineering, Third Edition"" provides an overview of
the history of this topic and the opinions surrounding it, ranging
from the study of fermentation by French chemist Louis Pasteur in
the 1850s to the nascent field of synthetic biology. Contemporary
case studies such as United States v. Kincade provide multiple
perspectives and decisions surrounding this issue while also
plotting a course for future debate. A comprehensive and up-to-date
overview essay, capsule biographies, a large annotated
bibliography, a chronology of significant events, organization and
agency listings, and a glossary also provide invaluable information
for students, teachers, librarians, scientists, medical personnel,
and general readers to explore the controversy surrounding
biotechnology and genetic engineering.Coverage includes: whether or
not genetically modified food impacts the environment and health;
how biotechnology has transformed the pharmaceutical industry; the
legal implications of genetic testing; and, more.
