Genetics and Gene Therapy shows the wide range of the debate and
the very real significance that genetics and its associated
developments have for human beings, individually and collectively.
Few areas of science and medicine have resulted in the volume of
academic and popular literature as has genetics. The so-called
revolution in understanding of the causes of disease states, and
even behavioural traits, has focussed public attention on the
influence of genes in making us what we are. Rapidly, however, the
potential benefits of such understanding were overtaken, in the
public mind at least, by the question of the possible (negative)
implications of genetic knowledge and associated technologies. The
chapters in this volume show just how wide-ranging concern has
become, ranging from regulation to cloning, with the fear of
discrimination in between. Part One begins with a range of general
discussions of about the genetic enterprise itself, followed by
consideration of some specific questions. Part Two then addresses
cutting edge debates in genetics.
