Overview

Within the limits of today's technology, the human genome is as complete as it can be. With this map came a new era of Science. We believe that this map will, and does, unlock many health and developmental mysteries. This volume explores issues relating to the science of human genetics. Should we get onboard with human genetic enhancement and therapies? Should private companies be able to patent and profit from their genetic discoveries when that map is the crux of humanity? Is genetic testing beneficial? Lastly, what is the impact of collecting human genetic information; who's going to track us and why? This single volume answers these questions, from a variety of well-respected resources, in an array of viewpoints in which many views are divergent. This panoply of information allows readers to think critically and develop their own intelligent viewpoints.

Reviews

Review: Human Genetics Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selections--by experts, policy makers, and concerned citizens--include complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers.--Booklist
