First published in 1998, this volume why and how genetic
engineering has emerged as the technology most likely to change our
lives, for better or worse, in the opening century of the third
millennium. Over twenty international experts, including moral
philosophers and social scientists, describe the issues and
controversies surrounding modern biotechnology and genetic
engineering. They explore ways in which lay individuals and groups
can join in an effective and constructive dialogue with scientists
and industrialists over the assessment, exploitation and safe
management of these new and important technologies. Topics covered
include a discussion of the issues surrounding 'Dolly', the cloned
sheep, the politics and ethics of the international research
programme to sequence the entire human genome, the ethical
questions raised by the creation of transgenic farm animals, the
morality of genetic experimentation on animals, the controversy
surrounding the patenting of genetic material and of the transgenic
animals themselves, the ethical implications of engineering animals
for transplanting their organs into humans, and the environmental
hazards of releasing genetically engineered organisms.
