What implications are applications of new genetic technologies
in biomedicine having on social identity in today s society?
New Genetics, New Identities, a wide-ranging multi-disciplinary
volume in the CESAGen Genetics & Society Book series, presents
not only theoretical reflection but also empirical case studies
drawn from an international array of authors. Including the highly
controversial areas of reproductive technologies and use of human
embryos in biomedical research, other key features include:
- a fresh analysis of a wide-range of social and political
concerns in the development of new social identities
- examinations of the social implications of identity formation
as a result from advances in genetic technologies from a number of
perspectives both locally and globally
- resources of a wide range of social science disciplines to
discuss significant sociological, anthropological, political and
ethical issues.
This superb collection is an essential informative read for
postgraduates and academics in the fields of sociology,
anthropology and scientific technologies giving a comparative
approach to complex issues surrounding the social implications of
these advances in a period of rapid social change."
