Geno-technology is a technology unlike any other, with significant
implications for life in the 21st century. It directly affects us
at a deeply personal level, it poses a threat to the boundaries
which conventionally define selfhood, it generates potentially
novel risks and dangers, and it threatens the very basis of
accepted understandings of culture and society. This unique,
exploratory volume discusses the ethical, cultural and
philosophical issues surrounding the search for the 'book of life',
focusing on the mapping of the human genome in Britain, the USA and
Europe. It examines the impact of genetically modified crops, food
and pharmacogenomics, along with the science and technology policy
issues deriving from the human genome project. The authors
investigate the potential risks and implications of the new
genetics and conclude with a discussion of how nature may be
reconfigured to underpin developments in health, commerce, state
regulation and the law, both on a local and global scale.
