Product Description
The emerging techniques in genetic engineering constitute a technological revolution with the potential to alter our environment and reconstitute animals and plants. This book presents recent work by European experts on moral philosophy, public policy, and the regulation and control of genetically controlled organisms. It sets out to articulate the key issues, controversies and possible solutions to the problems posed by genetic engineering and modern biotechnology. Areas covered include trangenic animals, xenografting, patenting life, human genome research, sustainable development, environmental release of genetically engineered organisms (GEO's), risk-assessment techniques and regulations. The book deals with the way this new technology can be democratized and "socially managed".
