This is a guide to the genetic engineering debate. Genetic
engineering has quickly become one of the more controversial issues
of our time. The author provides a detailed history of the debate
in a fair and balanced manner, using proponents' points of view to
make individual cases, both pro and con. Narrative chapters cover
such topics as the Human Genome Project, gene splicing, cloning,
genetically altered foods, and DNA and crime-solving. Students and
the general public will find a comprehensive survey of the genetic
engineering debate. Appendices include statements from Leon Kass
and Peter Singer, two of the most prominent scholars on the
subject, and a bibliography of print and electronic resources for
further research.
