内容説明・目次
内容説明
The participation of scientists of widely differing disciplines, philosophers and theologians in the discussions contained in this book rebut the criticism that discussions on biotechnology are restricted to laboratory risks. The enormous potential, and extraordinary pace of development in molecular biology poses problems in application that cannot be solved overnight. Discussions as contained in this most informative volume help to dispel hostility and controversy fueled by lack of knowledge. The far-reaching effects of genetic manipulation can be difficult to interpret on a social level without the intervention and help of guidance mechanisms such as are contained here, where top experts in scientific and social fields have given their views on the application of materials and methods which may not only shape the future, but create it as well.
