"Genetic Technology: A New Frontier | Life Science

First published in 1982 . This report examines the application of classical and molecular genetic technologies to micro-organisms plants and animals. This book is one of the first comprehensive documents on emerging genetic technologies and their implications for society. The authors discuss the opportunities and problems involved describe current techniques and attempt to project some of the economic environmental and institutional impacts of those techniques. The issues they raise go beyond those of technology utility and economic feasibility. As we gain the ability to manipulate life we must face basic questions of just what life means and how far we can reasonably-and safely-allow ourselves to go. |Genetic Technology: A New Frontier | Life Science
