Genetic Revolution & Human Rights
The rapid progress in genetics has unleashed a storm of ethical and political questions. Should people be allowed to clone themselves? Are eugenics defensible? What should be done to guarantee cultural and racial diversity? And who should control access to personal genetic information? The popular 1998 Oxford Amnesty Lectures, collected here, address these questions and many more. Each lecture is proceeded by an article by a leading lawyer, scientist, or philosopher, and the volume contains a forward by Richard Dawkins. The book will be an invaluable guide for anyone concerned about the impact of genetics on our future.
